1. CHIMPANZEES

Gracie sits with her baby in May 2012 at the Los Angeles Zoo. The female baby chimp was killed a month later by her uncle.
The zookeepers had kept Gracie away from the rest of the troop for three months after she gave birth, giving her time to bond peacefully with her infant.

All seemed to be going well, and the keepers decided to slowly reintroduce the pair to their community. The other chimpanzees welcomed back the pair, and peered with curiosity at the new infant—the first baby chimp born at the zoo in 13 years.

But one day, without warning, Gracie's brother snatched the infant from her arms and dashed around the enclosure slamming her against the ground and walls. Despite Gracie's cries and protests, he wouldn't give back the now-dead baby.

2. SCORPIONS
www.nairaland.com/attachments/12052216_unnamed4_jpege52a80284fdf6b2a714264de4ba59e26 Cannibal animals will eat their own babies, for a variety of reasons. Some will turn to their own as a food source when rations elsewhere are scarce, as is the case with scorpions, who can have around 100 offspring to provide for. By sacrificing a few, the mother gives the majority of the group a better chance at survival. They also say this trait has allowed scorpions to survive as long as they have.www.nairaland.com/attachments/12052262_images20200803t100148_371_jpeg_jpeg6e6394cf32a03e3152ab2f1d103b36d6

3. SNAKES

Cape cobras are generalist predators that have no qualms eating other snakes, including already-dead ones. Indeed, many snake species will hunt other snakes opportunistically, and some — like the infamous king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) — have made serpents the majority of their diet. But for the most part, it’s believed that these snakes prey upon other species, not their own.

4. MALE LIONS

Typically, a pride of lions includes one or two adult males who father the cubs. If other males successfully oust these fathers, the newcomers almost immediately kill any young cubs, particularly those the female lions are nursing—despite every effort on the mothers' part to stop the slaughter. Then the females quickly become fertile again and mate with the very males who killed their cubs.

Spider cannibalism is the act of a spider consuming all or part of another individual of the same species as food. In the majority of cases a female spider kills and eats a male before, during, or after copulation. Cases in which males eat females are rare. www.nairaland.com/attachments/12052683_images20200803t112602_613_jpeg_jpega434978253ee22942262614eddcd3229

A female of Segestria florentina will sometimes die while guarding her eggs, and the hatched spiders will later eat her.www.nairaland.com/attachments/12052682_images20200803t112552_706_jpeg_jpeg3cd9aa26896b8fb4f6afc879682466da

I'M NOT SUPPOSE TO ADD THIS BUT I HAVE TO.

6. HUMANS

==>Killings of newborn babies have been on the rise in Pakistan, corresponding to an increase in poverty across the country. More than 1,000 infants, mostly girls, were killed or abandoned to die in Pakistan in 2009 according to a Pakistani charity organization.

==>In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, "loopholes" were invented by Protestants who wanted to avoid the damnation that was promised by most Christian doctrine as a penalty of suicide. One famous example of someone who wished to end their life but avoid the eternity in hell was Christina Johansdotter (died 1740). She was a Swedish murderer who killed a child in Stockholm with the sole purpose of being executed. She is an example of those who seek suicide through execution by committing a murder

==>In 1888, Lieut. F. Elton reported that Ugi beach people in the Solomon Islands killed their infants at birth by burying them, and women were also said to practice abortion. They reported that it was too much trouble to raise a child, and instead preferred to buy one from the bush people.

HUMANS KILL THEMSELVES TOO FOR SO MANY REASONS: RELIGIOUS, CLAIM OF TERRITORIES, TO CONQUER ONE ANOTHER, JEALOUSY AND HATRED, RITUALS, FOR NO REASONS, FRUSTRATION. ETC.

7. PRAYING MANTIS
The mating habits of praying mantis,for example, will sometimes involve the female of the pair bite off and consume the head of her mate shortly after becoming inseminated in an effort to nourish herself and prepare her body for gestating offspring.

11. RABBITS AND HAMSTERS

Some animal mothers, mainly nesting animals such as rabbits and hamsters, will eat sickly, weak, or dead babies left in the nesting area in an effort to deter predators, who would be lured in by the smell, from entering their domain

12. SNAIL

Euglandina rosea, common names the rosy wolfsnail or the cannibal snail, is a species of medium-sized to large predatory air-breathing land snail, a carnivorous terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Spiraxidae. This species is a fast and voracious predator, hunting and eating other snails and slugs. The rosy wolfsnail was introduced into Hawaii in 1955 as a biological control for the invasive African land snail, Achatina fulica. This snail is responsible for the extinction of an estimated eight native snail species in Hawaii.

Baby eagles are the worst. If two are given birth to, one will trow the other out of the nest so he/she will be the only recipient of the mothers love

The lions are only doing to make the females mate again. Cuz if the cubs are Alive, the chances of the females mating with the males will be low.
