Alot of chimps that are at chimp Eden arrived due to the bushman trade. In this episode of Escape to Chimp Eden, Eugene is going to the Sudan to rescue five baby chimps. The twist of this episode is that he needs to make it back to his wife in time as she is 7 months pregnant and expected to give birth at anytime. This episode of Escape to Chimp Eden originally aired on April 11th at 9PM ET/PT.
It takes Eugene about 10 hours to fly to the Sudan. His wife is very scared because there are so many political issues going on in Sudan at the time of Eugene’s visit. When Eugene arrives in Sudan he is faced with alot of rain and flooding even though it is just the beginning of the rainy season.
When Eugene arrives at the local he now realizes that there are 7 chimps as opposed to the 5 chimp permits that he’d applied for. Eugene has to make the sad decision of selecting which 5 chimps he can take back with him to Chimp Eden. Eugene needs to get the chimps out as quickly as possible. The locals are very insecure and consider them to be a threat and addition thee of the chimps are babies.

Love the chimps….I enjoy Escape to Chimp Eden so much.
Will “Escape to Chimp Eden” return after the 2008 season? I really liked this show along with many other viewers. I cannot understand why it was taken off the air.
