They , they have all that sort of capability and more so , you know , the Ingogo gyms , there's so many of them and , and they are engaged in these sort of violent competitions with , with other groups . That's a very real thing and , and , and , you know , and it can get serious but their relationship with people is just completely different to a relationship . Chimps might have with people in captivity or if they've been kept as pets or something .
There's like , so I'm so fortunate and not really , not many people get to see that . And they are our closest relatives and they are fascinating because of the connections we have with them . They're also fascinating because they're different and they're all individuals and , and it's a chance to just you kind of feel a part of something that has , you know , brought that important knowledge and information um to people .
I'm here . That physical contact is just , you know , it's just reassuring each other that we're in this together . Um , it's , you and me and when violence does break out , what is that experience ?
Um , but weirdly , you know , they're so focused on what it is they're doing and have no interest in , sort of , in , involving or redirecting their aggression to the , to the humans at all . Well , I think , you know , because of , you know , there are some quite high profile and sort of like , pretty tragic sort of human chimp interactions . Aren't there a go ?
And , um , but extremely lucky on , on loads of things . I do feel with Ingogo Chimps in particular , like you say , as a human being from an existential sort of point of view . There's like , so I'm so fortunate and not really , not many people get to see that .
