The chimpanzees join forces to chase apricot newspapers to occupy the antelope

Proactive behavior against apricot newspapers to monopolize food was first observed in chimpanzees in Tanzania.

Dr. Michio Nakamura of the University of Tokyo and colleagues work on the Mahale Mountains in Tanzania to see wild chimpanzees chase the apricot newspapers to steal prey in November 2016. The team followed the chimpanzee hours a few hours before seeing a leopard leopard sitting on a nearby tree branch. A chimpanzee makes a signaling sound and is responded by his fellow man. Within an hour, all the chimpanzees led by the male named Primus dragged to where the leopard slayed.

The chimpanzee dragged a blue wild antelope with a blood-stained wound in the throat left by the leopards."Chimpanzees often cry out because they recognize the presence of the leopard leopard. They don't seem to be scared or panicked and they don't try to run away," the research team said. Share in Human Evolution magazine. "Many chimpanzees scream loudly and at the same time to scare away the leopards or at least prevent the leopard from approaching."

The chimpanzees share eating antelope corpses for nearly 5 hours. Tomorrow newspapers sometimes come back, but they are blocked by chimpanzees. This finding may reveal the evolution of early humans . Many scholars argue that eating meat plays an important role in the evolution of humans and prehistoric humans can start eating meat through dead bodies.

However, scholars still argue that the method of eating dead animals is passive (prehistoric people occupy the remains after predators complete their meals and leave) or actively confront (prehistoric people chase predators go to rob its food). The second behavior helps ensure safety while eating but is more dangerous due to confrontation with predators.

Researchers have observed chimpanzees eating rotten meat, but this behavior is very rare and always passive. The team looked at 49 cases of chimpanzees eating animal carcasses in the Mahale Mountains from 1980 to 2017. If chimpanzees actively chase apricot newspapers, maybe prehistoric people also chased away predators. This is hundreds of thousands of years.

2. Chimpanzees feel death like humans
