A population of savannah chimps (Pan troglodytes verus) living in the Fongoli area of south-east Senegal have been seen making spears from strong sticks that they sharpen with their teeth. The average spear length is 63 centimetres (25 inches).

Chimps were observed thrusting their spears into hollow trunks and branches with enough force to injure anything inside the holes...The chimps used a “power grip” and made multiple downward stabs – much the same way as a human might wield a dagger.
