Chimpanzee Page #3
they take up their places.
Freddy is at center stage.
Oscar and Isha watch
from the sidelines.
These colobus monkeys
are being hunted.
Smaller and lighter
than the chimpanzees,
they can run on thinner branches,
and this makes the hunt
much more challenging.
Freddy holds back.
This operation requires planning,
and everyone has a role to play.
One by one,
they silently take their positions.
The monkeys still haven't seen them.
Now, the blockers move up.
They're supposed to be seen,
and take a position in clear view.
Another blocker.
Freddy climbs carefully.
He must not be seen.
As ambusher,
Freddy will stay hidden
until he makes the grab.
Perfect.
Now, for the driver.
He'll push the monkeys
towards the ambusher.
Ready,
steady,
go!
They've got one!
Freddy takes the best for himself.
After the initial scramble,
the group settles in for the feast.
For Oscar, it's time to try to
win a seat at the adult table.
Shares get dished out first to those
that helped in the hunt
or as payback for favors.
But no matter how hard you try,
there's always someone
who feels shortchanged.
The females couldn't care less.
When it comes
to guarding meat from the guys,
Back up, big boy.
It's always good to add
so don't forget the side salad.
As usual, Oscar was last in line,
so he missed the main course.
He'll have to settle
for his mother's milk.
He may not be the most popular
little boy with everyone,
but his mother's love
With dusk approaching, leopards will
If Isha and Oscar want to sleep safely,
the only way is up.
Young, flexible branches
can be woven into a platform.
And leaves from the same tree
will do for bedding.
Now, that's comfort.
Like most kids, Oscar hates bedtime.
Finally, Isha 's little rascal hits the sack.
Even if the kids let you sleep,
there's a good chance
the neighbors will keep you awake.
Ah, please...
Are you kidding me?
You know, frogs are edible.
Here we go.
Isha and Oscar go downstairs
the exciting way.
Early morning, just after breakfast,
is the best time of day to strengthen
friendships with a little grooming.
The bonds between Freddy's team
are more important than ever.
The group is far smaller
than Scar's rival army
and teamwork is their best chance
of protecting the nut groves
for the next generation.
Oscar's future is in all their hands.
Far to the east,
just inside Freddy's territory,
a fig tree comes into fruit,
and is an instant hit with everyone.
Figs are a lifeline in the forest,
