Experts have said they had followed dozens of chimpanzees to Gabon and had expected them to be relaxed to gorillas.

Experts have said they had followed dozens of chimpanzees to Gabon and had expected them to be relaxed to gorillas.
But although the two species are usually playing games with each other, they were surprised to see these fierce attacks.
At first, we heard the chimpanzees' chips and thought we were watching a typical tag between individuals in neighboring chimpanzee communities, said Lara M. Today, the lead author of the study, reports CNN, translates Periscopi.
But then we heard chest beatings, a characteristic of gorillas, and we realized that chimpanzees were stuck with a group of five gorillas,” she added.
The two registered meetings, lasting 52 to 79 minutes, showed chimpanzees making coalitions to attack gorillas.
The victim of this serious attack was two gorilla babies who had been separated from mothers and killed. /Periscope
