Are humans the only animals that hunt their own kind?

Question

Just wondering.

Answer 1

Since very few human societies have been known to 'hunt' other humans for food, I take it you mean sport, psycos, and war? Chimpanzees (albeit very closely related to us) have been known to wage war on, and obliterate, neighbouring groups.

Answer 2

Human and chimpanzee males are the only ones who organize into gangs with the deliberate intention of invading the territory of another "tribe" and killing individuals in that other tribe.

Some don't want to call this hunting? Sounds like hunting to me.

Many male animals fight over females but usually not to the death. One yields and runs away.

Answer 3

Which humans hunt each other? Surely a war doesn't count - that is a fight, but not hunting. We don't eat each other...

Answer 4

The practice of cannablism still exists in the more primative cultures of humans today. So yes, humans do eat other humans.

Answer 5

Lizards in my yard attack each other all the time. Biting. Not killing, but biting to break the skin.

Sad when a lizard get's attacked. It just lies there. Even if the injury was a brused ego.

Answer 6

Nope. Crayfish will hunt and eat their own kind.

Answer 7

Nope. Some animals even eat their young when they're born. How about lions that kill the male cubs if they aren't theres? or Fish that eat their babies :)

Answer 8

Black widows come to mind. But, sadly, I think humans are the only ones who do it for sport.

Answer 9

No, just about every animal on earth kills or maims its own kind in one context or another.

Answer 10

no spiders eat other spiders and when the child spiders are born the mother kills her mate and feeds it to the babys ")
