Hunting of Mammalian Prey by Budongo Forest Chimpanzees

Abstract
Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) predation has been found in communities across Africa. Little evidence of such behaviour has been previously reported from the Budongo Forest, western Uganda. Here we present preliminary observations of predatory behaviour for the Sonso community, collected between August 1994 and February 2002. We find that the Sonso chimpanzees do not appear to hunt frequently, despite a relatively high density of potential prey, particularly Colobus guereza and Cercopithecus mitis. They seem similar to other eastern chimpanzees in their focus on immature colobus monkeys and in targeting ungulates, and the absence of red colobus (Procolobus badius) - the most common prey species elsewhere for chimpanzees - may be a significant factor.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
