AMAZING!

I think the reporter from dailymail exaggerates a lot when he says those chimps "feast" on leopards l) . It's more likely that they get to hunt one down every once in a long while...if they're lucky!
However if this is the same community of Chimpanzees as the one exposed on a documentary I saw (it talked about big recluse chimps from congo), then they also happen to hunt and eat small primates :P. I'll post a link if I find more info on this.

This is the part of the documentary where they show some chimps hunting down a small ape.

Alright, might not have been the same chimpanzee community shown in the documentary; but still their hunting capacity and method of killing are most likely very similar, Bili Ape or regular chimp. Since leopards are known to be tree-climbers it's possible that the congolese chimps use the same killing technique as the one used to kill apes, which is surrounding the prey's tree and, once they get a hold of the animal, taking it down to the ground and smashing it on hard surfaces till the prey's body give in.
