Chimpanzees living on the West African savanna have been observed fashioning spears from sticks and using them to hunt small mammals — the first routine production of deadly weapons observed in animals other than humans.
…grasping the weapon in a “power grip,” they jabbed into tree-branch hollows where bush babies — small monkey-like mammals — sleep during the day…
Pruetz thought it was a fluke, but then saw similar weapon- making herself “over the course of 19 days almost daily,” she said.
It was typically females who displayed the behavior.
