Quote: Wrote:Remains of gorillas and chimpanzees were found in scats nine and six times respectively. For each species age classification of the consumed individual was possible for three scats. For gorilla, the individuals consumed were adult in all three cases, and for chimpanzee two were adult and one was juvenile.

@Luipaard  You posted many pictures of Leopards in Gabon, but do you have any Leopard actually killing an animal, or even a kill site? Reply
