Once the world's largest chimpanzee community, two groups now wage a brutal war

Hit the link above if you're curious about chimps have descended to our level, they're getting pretty violent with their tit for tat skirmishes.

Uganda's Kibale National Park is home to the largest-known group of wild chimpanzees in the world.

Amid the lush greenery, hundreds of the endangered primates groom, play, forage and interact.
Their contact with human beings is minimal. There are no cities bordering their forest habitat.

Even so, their remote home became the scene of a primitive "civil war" — one that dramatically changed their group.

It quickly turned lethal.

The schism in their community has been documented for the first time in a new report published by a team of researchers based out of the University of Texas.
