Found: the giant lion-eating chimps of the magic forest

"Deep in the Congolese jungle is a band of apes that, according to local legend, kill lions, catch fish and even howl at the moon."

"The ground nests were very big and there was obviously something very unusual going on there."

"They are actually a population of super-sized chimps with a unique culture - and it seems, a taste for big cat flesh."

Fascinating discovery! It's amazing what we don't know.

I often think that third world or countries with struggling economies should look to their natural resources for development. There's so much to be seen in Russia, but it's not as safe as it could be for tourists. Africa is similar but wrought with disease.
