Escape to Chimp Eden

Eugene is racing against time to rescue a chimpanzee called Josephine from a run down printing factory in Angola, before her current owners carry out their threat to euthanize her. Eugene also discovers 2 baby chimps in appalling circumstances.

At Chimp Eden, Eugene is waiting for the results of blood tests on the 2 young chimps that he's been forced to leave in Angola. But life at the sanctuary is not running smoothly either. Sally is proving tough to integrate with the other chimps.

Eugene takes his life in his hands to go into Chimp Eden's kindergarten, which is where all the baby chimps are placed in the custody of 43-yr old Jao. He acts like a grandfather to the babies but is potentially dangerous when Eugene enters the enclosure.

Xena, a 4 year old female is threatening to mess up Eugene's unique relationship with Jao and compromise his access to the baby enclosure. Every time that Eugene goes in Xena attacks him.

Rescued from a decade spent in tiny cages in Angola, Mimi, Lika and Gida are about to taste freedom for the first time. And, Eugene soon enjoys the fruits of his efforts as the girls will have open spaces, sunshine and trees to climb.

If Zac and Jinga turn out to be Bonobos, a different type of chimp species, Eugene won't be able to keep them at Chimp Eden. They'll have to go to a different sanctuary, which would be heartbreaking after all he did to rescue them.
