I actually thought @MimiA would post that ... Carolyn Rowney from the Ngogo Chimp Project posted yesterday on twitter a video of chimpanzees hunting honey badgers.
"If there aren't any red colobus left at #Ngogo, what's a #chimp to do? Go after honey badgers, obviously!" https://youtu.be/lpwc8LHg8mI

Awesome. Scary. I love honey badgers. And chimps.

Brave chimps! It's interesting to watch how they hunt together, and to hear the different style of vocalizations that they make during. I wonder if we'll see any of them later in our clips from that site. 😃

Thanks for posting it @AnLand - you know me so well! I was going to do it but forgot - so great that you did instead 😃
During our collaboration with the Ngogo project our data collection zone was near the study community in Kibale forest but not the study community itself 😃

That was an exciting pursuit, though I did worry some about that very close-to-the-action photographer!
