About World's Deadliest:
World’s Deadliest Predators is a new series that looks at most riveting moments of animal predation, breaking down the struggle for survival and supremacy into five action-packed episodes. Top Hunters focuses on the most feared animals in their class: animals at the top of their food chain; the hunters who are prey to no other animal. Killer Packs illustrates when predators multiply their advantage over prey by banding with others of their species to hunt. Lethal Weapons shows that the physical attributes and built-in concealed weapons have the ability to make an animal a top predator. Our Superpowers episode focuses on the animals that see, hear, and smell better than any others…and that relative to their size on are the fastest and strongest creatures on the planet. And whether it is over food, territory or sex, animals go to war within their species and against other species…Battles dissects these conflicts, from the strategy to the play-by-play. These five episodes bring together dozens of species, which are extraordinary, savage, and the World’s Deadliest Predators.

Nat Geo Wild

[shmackedmuffins]

It’s all fun and games until they start cooking their food.

[AgroFro]

I will never mess with one of them. They are MADD strong

[gettingcanceled]

Just imagine recording
this and one of the chimps says “NO!”

[MrArianmas]

These fuckers are scary as shit, scarier than sharks to me. Mostly because they're so human like but yet so wild.

[alastairmakesmusic]

"Here's where brainpower pays off"

Yeah and having hands for feet.

[kentvene.]

I don't understand why anyone would have one of these as a pet that's just insane. It's asking for trouble is what it is.

[aceventuraify]

Much like humans, chimps can be psychopathic murderers. The key difference is that humans are aware of the consequences for murder where as chimps are not. If they decide they want to kill you, they have no reason not to. There have been many horrific cases of chimps attacking humans, if your lucky you wont live through it because they always rip the face off.

[IndyTheGreat]

Some vegetarian who was trying to convince me to convert was saying that humans having canines doesn't mean we are supposed to be eating meat, pointing out that chimps have huge canines but are vegetarian. Facepalmed pretty hard there.

[santiagovera]

It’s insane how coordinated they are surrounding their prey

[maaadstv]

i thought they hunt with spear and horse.

[casperchristensen]

The "chase music" seems kinda light hearted for what is going on.

[futurez]

When you think about how intelligent chimps are, coupled with their unbelievable strength, you really start to realise how intelligent humans are, to be able to rule the world with such weak bodies and little physical strength.

[tivchack]

next thing u know ..they will be having a barbeque !

[tommygun]

how do they film this without getting killed?

[respiratoryfailure]

Fun fact: Unlike tigers and lions who wre to be tranquilized upon escape, chimpanzees are a kill on sight whenever they escape their habitats at the zoo as tranquilizers basically just give them a rage attack damage boost.

[jasmeg]

Time to share some pizza with my family.. and allies.

[KrimsonVagus]

So imagine if Homo sapiens and Neanderthals hunted and ate each other, it would be like these guys. It's not cannibalism, but it's pretty damn close!

[walterzamalis]

“How much does an adult male chimpanzee weigh? 150 pounds? Jesus, those things will tear you to shreds.”
-internationally renowned zoological expert Dr. Joe Rogan

[colinjackson]

**nervously looking through the vegan bible** I-I don't understand!
