It sounds like something straight out of Planet of the Apes, and could turn a great deal of what experts thought they knew about chimps on its head: chimps are using spears - to hunt prey, and it's females who are often bearing these weapons of choice.

Well, it's about frigging time. Once the lions figured out that if you just sat there, the females would go out and kill something and then bring it back for you to eat, I thought all other animals would have jumped on that gravy train pretty quickly. It's nice to see that at least one species is getting its head into the game.

Yup. I've found that if you just "service" the females once in a while, that's enough to get them to do the hard work, like bringing in the chow and changing the timing chain on the car. Most couples I know have it backwards. I keep wondering when they're going to figure it out. Dumbass guys....

I guess we could call the Ape-mazons
