The second highest ranking chimp of three snatched an infant chimp from his mother and committed the act of cannibalism.

His name is Darwin, and he was second in command at the time he snatched the newborn. Scientists made this horrendous discovery following 21 chimps in the Mountains on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania.
Moments after Dawin ran off with the newborn several other chimps joined him to fill their cravings. A very rare moment caught by scientists. Darwin was followed by scientists the next day and noted he had diarrhea, but they did not find any bones in his excrement.
Devota didn't even get to hold her newborn, all she could do was watch Darwin run off into the bushes on that rainy day. In 2016 she gave birth and a beautiful picture was captured.

Oh no. That's awful :( It's important to remember that, while nature is very beautiful, it is also brutal.

Chimps are supposedly murderous and gang up on other chimps and have a lot of violent tendencies, second only to humans among primates.. The closely related Bonobos are apprently far more peaceful.. or we believe them to be..
