Do chimpazees eat their young

Yes, chimpanzees have been observed to occasionally eat their young, though this behavior is rare. It typically occurs under specific circumstances, such as when a mother is under extreme stress, lacks resources, or if the infant is sick or not viable. This behavior can be seen as a survival strategy, allowing the mother to conserve energy or to eliminate competition for limited resources. However, it is not a common practice among chimpanzees.
