Coming soon so I'm expecting it'll be around the end of November.

Could be the TV highlight of 2018!

[Nicky91]

yes could indeed be good, his show Blue Planet also does well in viewer ratings

i think those people could be tuning in for this either

[LeatherTrumpet]

and what is betting there will be a good slice of politics and the inevitable "look here is a baby xyz and oh no here comes a predator to eat it.."

same old same old

How can you detest chimps?

[Nicky91]

that leader David is a quite strong Chimp, he was injured but he remained strong for his group

also nice seeing them play in the water, when it has rained for the first time again

[LeatherTrumpet]

Dave took a hiding but shook himself down and regained his crown and then banged the hot chick with the inflated ar$e to celebrate being top dog

I do
they act too human in the bad sense of the word, all this bickering and bullying
not to mention cannibalism or killing and eating monkeys
they tend to looks scruffy and those arses

[Twosugars]

seen some disturbing footage of a band of chimps launching raids on monkey groups and instead just driving them out, they'd purposefully target a mother with a baby and grab that baby, tear it to pieces and eat it in an orgy or celebration
never seen other species being so wantonly cruel and savage

From The Trials of Life (1990).

Chimps on the hunt

David Attenborough watches a chimpanzee troop in the rainforestas they begin to organise a hunt. Each male chimp plays a specific role - driver, blocker, chaser and ambusher. David follows the chimps as they catch and kill a colobus monkey. They scream with excitement at the kill and share it the spoils. David comments on how this teamwork throws light on human ancestry.

"These blood-stained faces my well horrify us, but we might also see in them the face of our long-distant hunting ancestors. And if we are appalled by that mob violence and blood lust we might also see in that too, perhaps, the origins of the team-work that have, in the end, brought human beings many of their greatest triumphs."
