Hunting with Blowpipes

This video is a very interesting one. It shows the Matis of Brazil hunting monkeys. The Matis have a very brilliant skill of being able to imitate 10 different monkey calls. As they move through the forest they stop and call out the various calls. When a group has been spotted the hunting begins. Instead of using guns, the Matis use blowpipes shooting poisoned darts. They darts are scorn with piranha teeth to make sure the tip breaks off in the monkeys body and the poison can set in. The reason the Matis use blowpipes is because they can miss with the darts and it can go unnoticed. Once the monkey has been hit it must be tracked until the poison full sets in and kills the monkey. The Matis hunt monkeys due to their high protein.
