Boy Meets Girl - Escape to Chimp Eden

In episode 5 of Escape to Chimp Eden we were introduced to the Angolan Girls and the struggles that they went through prior to him rescuing them from Angola.

Eugene was worried about introducing the three new girls to the male chimps in the adult compound and wasn’t sure what to do because these male chimps were known to be violent and aggressive. The Angolan Girlshad been in quarantine for a period of three months and are now ready to be released.

When the male chimps saw the female chimps they literally went crazy through the bars, and the females hadn’t even entered the same compound area as the males yet. Mimi is the first female chimp to join in with the males. They just chased her around but didn’t get too aggressive. She just acted like she was happy to be free. She had been caged up for so many years when in Angola and hadn’t even touched grass with her feet before.

Nika, on the other had, wasn’t having any of it. She had been treated so horribly for over 12 years of her life that she just didn’t want to be apart of the process. Eugene was very relieved and excited with how the process was going. There wasn’t alot of violence or emotional display.

Euegne knew that this wouldn’t last that long though. He was still expecting the worse to come because everytime you add a new chimp to the mix it upsets the process that they’d created before. The males like being boss and they like showing that they are boss, so eventually the fighting between the two groups started.

Eventually though everyone seemed to be working together and Nika adjusted well to the process.
