Apparently Jane Goodall reported one instance of infanticide by females.
This doesn't fit into the picture very well, but it's about chimps. All infanticide we've spoken of so far was committed by males, and this is the rule in primates and other animals. There are some exceptions, and one was documented by Jane Goodall.
A female named Passion began killing and eating several of the babies in her community. Together with her daughter Pom, over a period of many years they attacked and killed infants in their group. Usually when males kill a baby, they don't eat it, but these females seemed to be after meat; they'd chase and consume the infant. They were actually seen to eat 3, chase 3 others, and there were 8 others who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. In this period, there were almost no infants weaned successfully.
So this is kind of a question mark because it's only been these two individuals documented- and the daughter probably learned it from the mom- so maybe we can label this one pathological and say that it's not a part of normal chimp behavior.
