pesu - Mar, 17 2009 06:03pm Ooops, what's this? A great pic! aufgehts - Mar, 17 2009 07:03pm Krys, how close were you to these chimps? Was there anything seperating you two? krisek - Mar, 17 2009 09:03pm I was maybe 20 yards away, maybe a little closer. There was a fence between us - they could be unpredictable those chimps. krisek - Mar, 17 2009 09:03pm Jill, it was safe... But some of them were aggressive a little. They had been abused by the humans, and this was a rehabilitation centre. frenchfrog - Mar, 18 2009 08:03am It is a shame that people will abuse these sweet little creatures! They are so much fun loving! krisek - Mar, 18 2009 09:03am Isabelle, yes it is a great shame, but chimps are also known to commit premeditated murder. They might be the only other creature on our planet beside the humans to do so. I have seen a programme on telly showing chimp gangs. My friends from West Africa told me that chimps could really be vicious and they definitely do not like them. I think the chimps are great and fascinating animals, but I do not live next to their habitat and do not need to deal with them on a daily basis... :) jacko1 - Mar, 18 2009 03:03pm further to recent comments, I read a report wher a 6 year old female achieved a one handed pull of 6k pounds in a rage, a strong human male would struggle to reach 4hundred pounds, stay clear friend!.
