Best Answer

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.
