LEIPZIG, Germany, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- German scientists say they have discovered the first direct evidence of wild bonobos hunting and eating the young of other primates.
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology said while chimpanzee males frequently hunt and kill monkeys, the more peaceful bonobos had been believed to restrict what meat they ate to forest antelopes, squirrels and rodents. The new study contradicts that theory.
