Absolutely amazing! I find their displays fascinating. Not only do you see their pure power but I feel you also see a bit of their personality and style come through.

I wonder, are the displays always completely different or do the chimps have their special movements that are repeated??

Goodness gracious! A sturdy fence between Jamie and the camera in those last few seconds was certainly reassuring …

And LOL – love the hopping. And the drumming. Noise! Noise! More noise!!!!!

Impressive! Jinga, at Chimp Eden, would display at the other girls when they fought and also at the second ranked male if he was bullying her girls. With her thick hair standing on end she was an impressive sight. I admire their displays myself. It shows how strong and powerful chimps really are. Some people may be disturbed by it but I think they are beautiful in their displays.
