was thinking it’s weird how in humans sometimes ppl horrifically murder people. Do, for example, ants, have sometimes an ant that horrifically murders other ants?

    Hippos. They hate almost everything, but sometimes some of them hate each other more.

    Some spiders tend to eat their partners, just because they’re murderous, not hungry.

    Different types of snakes tend to be quite racist and can’t stand one another.

    Koalas. They can be very aggressive about their leaves and will try to kick each other off trees.

    Some sharks just don’t give a shit on what they bite. Maybe because they’re mostly blind.

    Kangaroos will drown you, your kids, your pets and other kangaroos. Because fuck this, fuck that and fuck you. Kangaroos are psychos. Don’t mess with them.

    PS: Some of these examples might have specific circumstances or are plainly wrong. It happens.

      Not sure how you missed Chimpanzees. They will castrate each other bare handed if a feud develops, or out right murder an alpha that gives up primacy due to age or injury. Psychopaths of the animal kingdom.

        That reminds me of Orcas, which if I remember correctly actually hunt whales primarily for sport rather than food

        It might be. After enough time passes, i forget where the memory comes from and only tidbits of information remain.
