The Natural World: Among the Wild Chimpanzees

on BBC Two England

As a child Jane Goodall dreamt of going to Africa and living with the animals. In 1960 her dream became reality: she began a study of chimpanzees in Tanzania's Gombe National Park.
Today, more than two decades later, her work still continues, and it has given us a remarkable portrait of the animal most like man.
Spanning three generations of chimps, it shows them in all their moods.... playful infants, turbulent adolescents and adults whose behaviour ranges from tender motherhood to hunting and even murder.
