Strand A: All Together
Meeting the Chimpanzees When they arrived at the camp, Goodall climbed up to a high point and began to watch the chimpanzees. She wanted the chimpanzees to trust her and was very disappointed when they would not let her near them.

One day Goodall watched a male chimpanzee named David Greybeard eating a baby bush pig. This was the first time that anyone had ever seen a chimpanzee eating meat of any kind.
