The Omnimax film "Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees" will take you on an extraordinary trip deep into Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park and across four decades of research to experience the world of the chimpanzee as you've never seen it before.
|
Gombe Stream National Park is a remote forest with Lake Tanganyika at the western border. With no roads or airstrips nearby, the waterways are the only option for reaching the spectacular forests and beaches of the national
park.

In 1960, famed anthropologist Dr. Louis Leaky sent 26-year old Jane Goodall to Tanzania to study wild chimpanzees. What she discovered would change not only our understanding of chimpanzees but ultimately, of human behaviour
itself.

Jane Goodall's quest to work with live animals in the wild began more than forty years ago. After hiring Jane as an assistant on a fossil-hunting dig in Africa, noted palaeontologist and anthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey arranged for Jane to travel to Gombe to study the behaviour of the chimpanzees that make their home there.
|
|
Her heart never left. Goodall established what has become the longest continuously running study of animals in the wild.

These are orphan chimpanzees that were born in the forest. Once being taken out of the wild, the chimpanzees can never be
returned.

human.

“Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees” invites you to be among the few humans who have ventured into the realm of the wild chimpanzee to see them at close range. Research has proven that chimpanzees and humans share nearly 99% of the same DNA, making chimps the closest relative to humans.
|
|
Goodall's discoveries in forty years of research at Gombe - including her groundbreaking observations of chimpanzees making and using tools - have not only revolutionized our understanding of chimps, but ultimately of human behaviour itself.

Jane Goodall pant-hoots with a chimpanzee. Chimpanzees pant-hoot in a variety of circumstances, such as arriving at fruit trees, responding to distant pant-hoots, when joining other community members and when
travelling.
