Chimps Hunting Monkeys | National Geographic

this chimpanzees are smart agile and
crafty and when they’re hungry they can
be lethal as you’re about to see here in
Tanzania Africa these Apes are hunting
their next meal
monkeys but colobus monkeys are worthy
adversaries able to stand their ground
against predatory primates almost four
times their size to try and outwit their
pursuers the colobus lure the chimps
higher and higher into the trees where
the smaller lighter color must have an
advantage they can balance on branches
the chimps would break this male
countess : see scale just barely out of
a hundred ships rich giving the women
and children time to escape watching the
chimps chase the colobus is like
watching the action-adventure version of
a great chess match with stakes on life
and death
below a female chimp follows the action
no question who she’s rooting for this
chimp is named Frodo he climbs and
climbs and makes a daring leap of faith
but the columnist isn’t afraid of
racking up a little hang time himself
after all these little guys can make
huge leaps even as high as 15 feet into
the air then a lawn move a kaiba sleeps
into the arms of death and the victors
whoop it up good the young hunter
displays his kill only to have the
dominant chimp confiscate his prize I
guess these chimps are like the National
Football League no showboating here
especially when the tribe is hungry
