Yes, they hunt in groups just like humans in ancient hunter-gatherer societies. The alpha directs some to scare or herd the prey in a certain direction. Then they corner it and rip it apart. They usually hunt monkeys and small deer. However, meat is a small part of their diet. There is one chimp community that uses spears to hunt. They sharpen the end of a stick with there teeth, and then they jab it into holes in trees and logs in order to spear any prey hiding inside.

What is the difference between female chimpanzee and chimpanzee?

There's no difference between a "chimpanzee" and a "female chimpanzee" in the way that implies they are separate species or types of animals. A female chimpanzee is simply a chimpanzee that is female. Think of it like this: Chimpanzee: This is the general term for the species Pan troglodytes. It refers to any individual of that species, regardless of their sex. Female chimpanzee: This term specifies the sex of the chimpanzee. It's a chimpanzee that happens to be female, just as a "male chimpanzee" would be a chimpanzee that happens to be male. So, when someone asks "What is the difference between female chimpanzee and chimpanzee?", it's a bit like asking "What's the difference between a dog and a female dog?" A female dog is a dog. All female chimpanzees are chimpanzees, but not all chimpanzees are female (some are male). The term "chimpanzee" encompasses both sexes.
