Episode 1

Chimps

Chimpanzees are man's closest relatives, 95% DNA-compatible. Their social life is as complex as a human tribe's, with family and political aspects as well as widely differing individual characters. For the troop portrayed in Uganda's forest, that means lots of drama in the power struggle between the unpopular reigning alpha-male and his rivals. In between collecting food, nesting and grooming, they must also contend with a horrible poaching threat.
