Escape to Chimp Eden: Episode 3 – Jao

meet-jao.jpgIn this episode of Chimp Eden, Eugene has to enter one of the encampments but needs to gain permission from Jao.

Jao is 43 years old and is considered the alpha chimp of the encampment. Because of the craziness that these chimps have gone through anything can trigger violent behavior from one of them at anytime. According to Eugene, the chimps have a mental capacity of a 5 year old but the strength of 7 times that of a human being.

It seemed like everything is working out fine with Eugene and he is gaining the trust and respects of the chimps. however the workers along with Eugene has the chimps start a tree climbing exercise and everything just goes down hill from there. Jao starts to get really angry and upset and eventually attacks Eugene. Because Jao is really strong and has alot of rage and anger Eugene is basically no match for him and they have to resort to extreme measures to get him under control.

Its just a really sad situation to see what these chimps have had to go through. Keep posted for more updates on this wonderful show and the work that Eugene is doing.
