Adult males of the study group collectively attacked an unknown male infant. Although an unknown female, probably the mother, tried to retrieve him, the infant was seriously injured and most likely died. During this incident, the unknown female attacked and injured two researchers. After the aggressive encounter, it was found that six of the nine adult males in the study group were wounded. Attacking the extragroup male infant may have the effect of weakening the future power of the neighboring group, leading to better access to resources and enhanced safety in the future for the study group.}, pages = {175--180}, title = {Incident of intense aggression by chimpanzees against an infant from another group in Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania}, volume = {58}, year = {2002} }
