===Hunting===
When hunting small monkeys such as the [[Western red colobus|red colobus]], chimpanzees hunt where the forest canopy is interrupted or irregular. This allows them to easily corner the monkeys when chasing them in the appropriate direction. Chimpanzees may also hunt as a coordinated team, so that they can corner their prey even in a continuous canopy. During an [[arboreal]] hunt, each chimpanzee in the hunting groups has a role. "Drivers" serve to keep the prey running in a certain direction and follow them without attempting to make a catch. "Blockers" are stationed at the bottom of the trees and climb up to block prey that takes off in a different direction. "Chasers" move quickly and try to make a catch. Finally, "ambushers" hide and rush out when a monkey nears.<ref name="Leipzig2002">{{cite journal |author=Boesch, C. |title=Cooperative hunting roles among Taï chimpanzees |journal=Human Nature |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=27–46 |year=2002 |pmid=26192594 |doi=10.1007/s12110-002-1013-6 |citeseerx=10.1.1.556.2265|s2cid=15905236}}</ref> While both adults and infants are taken, adult male colobus monkeys will attack the hunting chimps.{{sfn|Goodall|1986|pp=273–274}} When caught and killed, the meal is distributed to all hunting party members and even bystanders.<ref name="Leipzig2002"/>

Male chimpanzees hunt in groups more than females. Female chimpanzees tend to hunt solitarily. If a female chimpanzee were to participate in the hunting group and catch a Red Colobus, it would likely immediately be taken by an adult male. Female chimpanzees are estimated to hunt ≈ 10-15% of a community's vertebrates.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Gilby |first1=Ian C. |last2=Machanda |first2=Zarin P. |last3=O’Malley |first3=Robert C. |last4=Murray |first4=Carson M. |last5=Lonsdorf |first5=Elizabeth V. |last6=Walker |first6=Kara |last7=Mjungu |first7=Deus C. |last8=Otali |first8=Emily |last9=Muller |first9=Martin N. |last10=Thompson |first10=Melissa Emery |last11=Pusey |first11=Anne E. |last12=Wrangham |first12=Richard W. |date=September 2017 |title=Predation by female chimpanzees: toward an understanding of sex differences in meat acquisition in the last common ancestor of Pan and Homo |journal=Journal of Human Evolution |volume=110 |pages=82–94 |doi=10.1016/j.jhevol.2017.06.015 |issn=0047-2484 |pmc=5570454 |pmid=28778463|bibcode=2017JHumE.110...82G }}</ref>
