My very first contact, on April 8 2005, with the naive Gangu chimpanzees. Up until this point the Bili apes near the road would always flee our team in terror. But just as tracker Ligada had said, these chimpanzees in the remote Gangu Forest reacted more with curiosity than fear. The adult male in this video continues feeding as he watches us. In the weeks ahead, as we traveled deeper into the forest, the chimpanzees would get less and less afraid. (Cleve Hicks / Wasmoeth Wildlife Foundation).
