Jane Goodall

Well, he knocked me over and then he stamped on me and then he charged away and then, which he does to lots of people, but for some reason he charged back twice more and stamped and dragged and sort of cracked open, well, not cracked over my head, but I had a bleeding cut where he'd hit my head on a rock and a damaged ankle.

So I try to avoid Frodo.

Fresh Air
Jane Goodall

He is potentially dangerous.

Fresh Air

Fresh Air
Jane Goodall

But actually, you know, chimps are so like people.

Fresh Air
Jane Goodall

I actually get pretty mad at him.

Fresh Air
Jane Goodall

It's just you can't help it.

Fresh Air

Fresh Air
Jane Goodall

I think it's because I disappear for so long.

And there is something in the chimps' makeup that even if it's another chimp, a long separation is likely to lead to aggression when the two chimps meet again.
