Wild chimpanzees recorded waging ‘civil war’ with coordinated attacks between two groups
A study published in Science documents a 'civil war' within the Ngogo chimpanzee group in Uganda, where the community split into western and central factions, leading to coordinated attacks that killed at least seven adult males and 17 infants. This is the first thoroughly reported case of such in-group violence in wild chimpanzees, highlighting parallels to human conflicts and potential conservation concerns.
