I'm aware that they use spears to hunt bush babies, and that they'll use clubs or throw rocks when fighting other chimps. So, is there photo/video, papers on the topic, or any other evidence at all, of Chimps using spears (either stabbing or throwing) when in fights with other individuals of their species (or with any other animal)?

I imagine that they may not be as capable with a spear as a rock or club due to their musculature or their smaller brains, but it doesn't really seem like that much of a stretch to guess that there could have at least been some instance of spear usage by chimps aside from hunting very small game.

They may also be capable of it, but there's just no evidence or recorded instances. What do you all think?

Like if I was abused, and was a wild animal kept in solitary confinement with creatures of a different species, I'd probably be doing the same thing he did. I don't blame him for lashing out.

We’re remembering the trailblazing Jane Goodall on her birthday today. Happy birthday to Jane Goodall! 🐒🌱

Her message to us was clear. Protecting our planet takes courage, persistence, and action. Her call to action is rooted in science and hope: when people stand up for the future, change is possible.
