They're there to observe and try and understand it's not an emotional thing , but even even they , who have been there for many years and I think particularly because they've been there for many years . Sometimes you see an act of violence on a , on a chimp that you've known and been following around for ages . They may not care about you but you really care about them and , and it's sad .
Um , it's , you and me and when violence does break out , what is that experience ? Like , I mean , when you're seeing Chimp on chimp violence from several feet away . That has to be wild .
And it's hard . I , I think that is chimp on chimp violence is , is a lot harder , um , to watch , um , than the chimp on monkey violence for me personally . And whether I'm there myself or whether I'm seeing it recorded later on , I think there's a , there's kind of a sadness to that personally .
It's because in truth , the , it gets more serious if the chimps outnumber them significantly . So when , when chimps are kind of equal sized groups , when they come into contact , they're usually less violent situations , there's too much danger , there's too much danger , too much at stake . It's kind of a bit bravado .
The Joe Rogan experience . Now , when the chimps are on patrol , that's a uniquely intense and aggressive moment and it's so wild to watch to see them . These hulking chimpanzees move through the forest in co ordination when you're there with that and you're very close to these violent encounters with the other chimps .
