Escape to Chimp Eden: Episode 7 - Bonobos 2 Jinga

jinga.jpgBack in episode 5 of Escape to Chimp Eden we met the Angolan Girls that were being introduced to the adult enclosure. Now Jinga, who is a new 13 year old female chimp, is going to be introduced to this already established family group with the 3 males and 3 Angolan females. She’s going to first me introduced to the three females, Mimi, Gita and Lika. Now if you recall these were some feisty girls that were NOT taking any mess from the 3 males that had already been living in the enclosure.

Gita was actually very friendly and started off by giving Jinga a hug, but Mimi was kind of in her own world and not paying any attention. Eugene was really more worried about introducing her to the boys and hoping that a fight wouldn’t break out. He even thought about dispersing some bullets over the walls of the enclosure in case anything happens. Check back to see what happens as well as how Jinga interacts with the female chimps and those rowdy male chimps.
