jaapv Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted January 7, 2022 As he walked close past, he did not make eye contact until too close to photograph. Meeting him was a privilege .

fotografr Posted January 8, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2022 Just curious, how was the troop leader killed? Also, was Nelson avoiding eye contact because it would be perceived as a threat? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 8, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 8, 2022 Excellent. Was he in a refuge? When poachers steal a chimp baby the entire clan comes together to try to protect it. At that point poachers shoot all the chimps other than the babies. One wishes the poachers would keep the babies to adulthood rather than sell them, and then be literally torn apart by them. They are incredibly strong. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with poachers being shot on sight. They are the scum of the earth. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - Mahale Mountains is a National Park (well-protected and quite inaccessible except by boat from the lake). On Lake Tanganyika, opposite the Congo. It is one of the last places for wild Chimpanzees, about 900 left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, was Nelson avoiding eye contact because it would be perceived as a threat? It was a regicide - he was a despot and the stronger males formed a coalition and killed him. I don't think that he saw it as a threatening situation- they are well habituated by the Japanese research team since 1960. I like to interpret it as respect. As a matter of fact he brushed past me - although one should attempt to avoid all physical contact to prevent disease transmission, I could not avoid it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
