I react, then you react to my reaction, and if there’s enough of us that do this, it spirals out of control. This type of thing happens among humans too. This startled the other chimps (who are excitable) and it went downhill from there. The first chimp to see a gorilla let out a surprise bark. More like, the two groups just happened to cross paths. My take: it’s not so much that a chimp plotted to do this. If you study chimpanzees, you come to expect that any squabble can quickly turn lethal, which is a testament to their excitability but also their incredible speed and power. “The chimpanzees then worked together to single out certain gorillas, and in both events they were able to separate the baby gorillas from their mother.” “In both cases, once the first chimpanzee who saw the gorillas let out an alarm bark or scream, the majority of other group members reacted immediately and joined in, all barking together,” noted Southern.
