Title: Competition for Meat between Chimpanzees and Baboons of the Gombe National Park
Abstract: Both chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) and baboons ( Papio anubis ) at the Gombe National Park in Western Tanzania are known to catch and eat meat. There are five occasions recorded when chimpanzees were seen to seize prey from baboons and five other occasions when there was evidence strongly suggesting that an appropriation had taken place. This paper describes these observations.
