Researchers from Iowa State University recently found a group of great apes that beat up, murdered, and cannibalized a chimp that had once been a tyrannical, prominent “alpha male.” As they describe in a new study, the gruesome discovery sheds light on what factors lead to an unstable society in chimp world.

 

The researchers, who had been following this group of Senegalese chimpanzees since 2001, recently found that a male chimp they named Foudouko had been brutally killed — and eaten by one female member of the group — after returning to his tribe as a former bully. This savage event was described in their new paper in the International Journal of Primatology as an important insight into how chimpanzees form coalitions for lethal aggression.

Interesting, I wonder how long it takes when applied to humans?  Still counting the days in the DPRK and Venezuela.

       If you're counting days, it may play out a little closer to home first.

Anyone else see the Daily Mash article in the UK about the Queen killing Trump? It's satire, but still funny.
