The only other animals that kill for fun (that I know of) are humans.

Chimps have been known to go out and kill other chimps for fun. They go out in groups of six and walk calmly in straight line towards their target. Once they get close, they split into two groups of three and go out to the left and right flanks of the target, sometimes in trees and sometimes on the ground. After they do that, they wait for a minute or two. Then one of the chimps makes some kind of signal to attack (this is usually some kind of scream) They then swing down from the trees they are in, or run across the ground grabbing rocks or sticks as they run. They then completely batter their target until it dies. No one know why they do this. They just do it for the hell of it, it seems.
