Frodo's aggression was not limited to colobus monkeys and other chimpanzees. In May 2002, he killed a 14-month-old human child that the niece of a member of the research team had carried into his territory.[57] As a result, the Tanzanian National Parks Department considered killing Frodo.[57] In 1988, he attacked visiting Far Side cartoonist Gary Larson, leaving him bruised and scratched.[57] Frodo had a history of attacking the researchers observing him; Goodall was attacked by Frodo on multiple occasions and, in 1989, the ape beat her head so violently her neck was nearly broken.[57]
