Is this news true that scientists are amazed at how chimps hunt?

Question

I have heard that Chimps used bows and arrows to hunt and even used hammers to build stuff. In one extreme case, one chimp even became president of a country.

Answer 1

I have read that they like to find booze and get drunk. The ones that drink excessively and are more boisterous are usually the leaders! (go figure) It has be documented that in some places the chimps will get drunk, on fermented fruit or stolen alcohol and play chicken on the train tracks, whom ever waits until the last possible second to jump out of the trains path got higher status in the chimp group. I have never heard of a chimp using a bow and arrow, just a stick sharpened by their teeth. this was used to spear small creatures.

Answer 2

Obviously you've had too much to drink. But chimps are certainly a wonder! It's been noted they have a distinct vocabulary and like items that are painted red. Research has concluded that chimps are willing to do jobs that Americans won't do, such as gleaning agricultural fields and washing cars. Further, its been established that some chimps are capable of obtaining credit cards and making wise purchases. Huh. Who'd a thunk?

Answer 3

Naah,
Chimps have been seen using sticks like spears to open holes in tree bark to access animals by their arms.....but it is a primitave use of tools. I don't think they have made their own bows and arrows.
However, Hilary Clinton, COULD be the chimp that becomes president...so I will give you that one.

Answer 4

Well they also live in huge groups and hunt and cannibalize other chimps... I just watched a show about it the other day.. it kinda made me sick to see how much they are like humans..

Answer 5

you don't hear about chimps as often anymore since smoking has gone out of style...
