full of wonder, 3 00:00:21,555 --> 00:00:23,040 beauty 4 00:00:24,114 --> 00:00:25,520 and drama. 5 00:00:32,075 --> 00:00:35,040 For the past four years we've been following 6 00:00:35,114 --> 00:00:39,895 some of the most celebrated and endangered species on Earth. 7 00:00:52,354 --> 00:00:56,715 We followed the fortune of some, here on the planes of Zimbabwe 8 00:00:58,114 --> 00:01:00,834 to the jungles of India, 9 00:01:05,675 --> 00:01:08,040 from the edge of the Sahara 10 00:01:09,035 --> 00:01:12,555 to the frozen wastes of Antarctica. 11 00:01:13,994 --> 00:01:17,915 We join each family at a crucial moment in their lives 12 00:01:18,035 --> 00:01:20,754 when they're battling against the odds 13 00:01:23,354 --> 00:01:25,360 fighting for survival 14 00:01:27,635 --> 00:01:29,795 against the elements 15 00:01:33,314 --> 00:01:35,555 and against rivals. 16 00:01:39,994 --> 00:01:44,075 We have got closer and filmed in greater length 17 00:01:44,275 --> 00:01:48,035 and in more detail than we've ever tried to do before. 18 00:01:51,915 --> 00:01:53,520 In our modern world, 19 00:01:53,595 --> 00:01:56,280 ensuring the survival of the next generation 20 00:01:56,354 --> 00:01:58,475 is becoming ever more difficult. 21 00:02:01,195 --> 00:02:04,440 For these families, to win against the odds 22 00:02:04,515 --> 00:02:06,875 will be their greatest challenge. 23 00:02:08,235 --> 00:02:10,235 This is Dynasties. 24 00:02:30,595 --> 00:02:33,314 Senegal, West Africa. 25 00:02:35,195 --> 00:02:39,035 Home to a remarkable group of chimpanzees. 26 00:02:42,635 --> 00:02:45,000 It gets so hot and dry here, 27 00:02:45,075 --> 00:02:48,360 it's the very limit of where they can survive. 28 00:02:55,114 --> 00:02:59,915 This territory is ruled by one strong and determined leader. 29 00:03:04,075 --> 00:03:07,195 An alpha male known as David. 30 00:03:19,555 --> 00:03:23,235 His rule gets him the best of everything. 31 00:03:26,035 --> 00:03:28,360 But he can trust no one. 32 00:03:35,994 --> 00:03:40,754 He is surrounded by rivals prepared to kill him for his crown. 33 00:03:47,235 --> 00:03:49,120 This is a story 34 00:03:49,795 --> 00:03:53,155 of power, politics 35 00:03:53,994 --> 00:03:56,354 and the fight for survival. 36 00:04:23,435 --> 00:04:26,080 David's torn ears are testament 37 00:04:26,155 --> 00:04:29,160 to the many battles he's fought and won 38 00:04:29,314 --> 00:04:33,555 to protect his status and his family. 39 00:04:38,754 --> 00:04:42,275 He has ruled over his troupe for three years. 40 00:04:48,114 --> 00:04:53,155 Leaders here don't usually hold power for much longer than this. 41 00:04:56,114 --> 00:04:59,195 And now, as the dry season begins, 42 00:04:59,635 --> 00:05:02,915 David's rivals are gathering again. 43 00:05:11,955 --> 00:05:17,040 The successful alpha males normally have many allies to support them. 44 00:05:22,435 --> 00:05:24,715 But David is alone. 45 00:05:28,875 --> 00:05:31,715 He has never been more vulnerable. 46 00:05:42,595 --> 00:05:46,515 In the dry season these huge mounds of earth are magnets 47 00:05:46,635 --> 00:05:49,395 for all 32 chimps in the group. 48 00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:03,560 The mounds are full of food, 49 00:06:04,195 --> 00:06:07,155 rich in fat and protein. 50 00:06:15,834 --> 00:06:17,160 Termites. 51 00:06:33,314 --> 00:06:36,600 These chimps have learnt to use grass stems as tools 52 00:06:36,675 --> 00:06:40,035 to fish out the insects. 53 00:06:45,555 --> 00:06:48,994 As leader, David gets his pick of the feeding spots. 54 00:06:55,075 --> 00:07:00,314 But he is vary, as he must feed alongside old enemies. 55 00:07:03,994 --> 00:07:07,275 He has two particularly ambitious rivals. 56 00:07:09,955 --> 00:07:12,800 David's toes begin to twitch, 57 00:07:12,875 --> 00:07:15,635 a nervous tic he can't conceal. 58 00:07:24,155 --> 00:07:26,075 This is Jumpkin, 59 00:07:26,314 --> 00:07:29,560 who has long sought the top spot. 60 00:07:37,875 --> 00:07:40,235 And this, Luther, 61 00:07:43,754 --> 00:07:46,000 a tempestuous younger male 62 00:07:48,275 --> 00:07:50,400 with an aggresive streak. 63 00:08:02,354 --> 00:08:05,834 The troupe is together for the first time in months, 64 00:08:05,994 --> 00:08:10,274 and jostling for good feeding spots can easily lead to clashes. 65 00:08:18,314 --> 00:08:22,875 It's vital that David keeps order and defuses the situation. 66 00:08:24,235 --> 00:08:26,675 All eyes are on him. 67 00:08:36,195 --> 00:08:39,635 His display shows he is in control. 68 00:08:42,595 --> 00:08:45,120 But in chimp society 69 00:08:45,195 --> 00:08:48,314 strength alone is not enough. 70 00:08:49,875 --> 00:08:53,875 David must be political to hold onto power. 71 00:08:57,915 --> 00:09:00,314 He needs to make an ally. 72 00:09:05,275 --> 00:09:07,155 This is K. L. 73 00:09:07,595 --> 00:09:11,055 He's strong, but gray-bearded and past the age 74 00:09:11,075 --> 00:09:14,240 where he would challenge for the role of alpha. 75 00:09:18,435 --> 00:09:20,435 David makes an approach. 76 00:09:32,715 --> 00:09:36,235 Grooming builds bonds of friendship, 77 00:09:37,515 --> 00:09:40,834 buying support and giving benefits in return. 78 00:09:50,675 --> 00:09:53,834 You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. 79 00:10:01,994 --> 00:10:06,754 Only time will tell if this new alliance will pay off. 80 00:10:24,475 --> 00:10:26,635 Temperatures soar. 81 00:10:45,035 --> 00:10:47,435 It's already 40 degrees. 82 00:11:02,754 --> 00:11:07,314 The arid land might seem one giant sandpit for the infants, 83 00:11:10,275 --> 00:11:12,320 but for the adults 84 00:11:12,675 --> 00:11:16,075 existing tensions are starting to surface. 85 00:11:31,435 --> 00:11:34,435 And David has his eye on Jumpkin. 86 00:11:48,834 --> 00:11:51,834 Jumpkin attacks an elderly female, 87 00:11:57,395 --> 00:12:00,435 it's a display of his aspirations for power. 88 00:12:16,475 --> 00:12:18,955 David can't tolerate this, 89 00:12:21,114 --> 00:12:23,235 but K. L. steps in. 90 00:12:33,834 --> 00:12:36,515 And gives Jumpkin a sharp lesson. 91 00:12:54,795 --> 00:12:58,314 It's swiftly followed by one from David himself. 92 00:13:03,155 --> 00:13:06,395 With a final huge lunge at his rival, 93 00:13:08,915 --> 00:13:11,354 Jumpkin comes crashing down. 94 00:13:21,635 --> 00:13:27,114 Together, David and K. L. are now a force to be reckoned with. 95 00:14:40,075 --> 00:14:44,675 Fires destroy three quarters of the group's territory. 96 00:14:51,675 --> 00:14:55,795 Much of their food and shelter has gone. 97 00:15:05,275 --> 00:15:08,915 And with temperatures continuing to rise, 98 00:15:10,595 --> 00:15:13,754 water is becoming perilously scarce. 99 00:15:22,915 --> 00:15:26,754 The group must stick together to survive. 100 00:15:34,395 --> 00:15:38,195 Gathering in a dried-out river bed, they use knowledge 101 00:15:38,314 --> 00:15:41,675 passed down from generation to generation. 102 00:15:45,715 --> 00:15:49,994 A hidden water source under the parched earth. 103 00:16:10,275 --> 00:16:14,595 For David there is more than just draught to worry about. 104 00:16:21,915 --> 00:16:24,475 He can't avoid his rivals. 105 00:16:29,875 --> 00:16:33,875 K. L. is proving to be a loyal ally to David 106 00:16:36,354 --> 00:16:39,875 and David is going to need him more than ever. 107 00:16:57,035 --> 00:17:00,915 By rare coincidence, three of the seven females 108 00:17:01,114 --> 00:17:05,035 have become sexually receptive. 109 00:17:06,675 --> 00:17:10,834 Their swellings attract the attention of all the males. 110 00:17:14,155 --> 00:17:18,555 The females will try to mate with as many males as possible. 111 00:17:49,354 --> 00:17:51,400 David must control them all 112 00:17:51,475 --> 00:17:55,155 to ensure that he is the one who mates. 113 00:17:58,834 --> 00:18:03,834 But some of the group, like Luther, have other ideas. 114 00:18:16,635 --> 00:18:20,320 All the other males see this could be their chance. 115 00:18:28,314 --> 00:18:30,960 There has never been a more important moment 116 00:18:31,035 --> 00:18:33,520 for David to assert his power. 117 00:18:37,955 --> 00:18:39,955 He makes the first move. 118 00:18:53,195 --> 00:18:57,235 His rivals respond with their own display of strength 119 00:18:58,994 --> 00:19:01,235 and start to close ranks. 120 00:19:01,955 --> 00:19:06,195 David and K. L. seem to be outnumbered. 121 00:19:07,114 --> 00:19:10,155 Everything turns to chaos. 122 00:20:09,235 --> 00:20:11,680 at some point during the night, 123 00:20:11,754 --> 00:20:15,114 the younger males turned on David. 124 00:21:24,155 --> 00:21:28,595 The females and their infants come to his side 125 00:21:30,275 --> 00:21:33,834 to support him and tend to his wounds. 126 00:22:47,354 --> 00:22:49,555 They can't stay here, 127 00:22:51,515 --> 00:22:54,435 they and their young need water. 128 00:23:56,354 --> 00:24:00,754 The whole group move on to the nearest water hole. 129 00:24:12,354 --> 00:24:15,955 Even K. L. has to leave David behind. 130 00:25:02,595 --> 00:25:06,915 It's a six-mile trek (10 km) to the next source of water. 131 00:25:26,915 --> 00:25:30,314 David is left for dead. 132 00:25:39,314 --> 00:25:42,955 there is now a power-vacuum at the top 133 00:25:43,675 --> 00:25:46,595 and Luther sees an opportunity. 134 00:26:23,035 --> 00:26:27,275 Creating fear within the group is one way to become leader. 135 00:27:21,715 --> 00:27:24,155 He tries to intimidate the group 136 00:27:24,994 --> 00:27:27,995 but a bid for leadership is never instant. 137 00:27:30,075 --> 00:27:33,435 He'll have to keep this up for many days. 138 00:28:20,875 --> 00:28:22,955 Friendless and wounded, 139 00:28:24,114 --> 00:28:28,435 David somehow musters the energy to search for food. 140 00:28:37,114 --> 00:28:39,400 The has to rejoin the group 141 00:28:39,475 --> 00:28:42,035 before he's exiled for good. 142 00:28:46,555 --> 00:28:50,114 But first he must regain strength. 143 00:28:51,875 --> 00:28:54,515 Time is running out. 144 00:30:05,354 --> 00:30:09,395 Remarkably, one week after the attack, 145 00:30:09,635 --> 00:30:13,834 David makes the long journey to find the group. 146 00:30:51,875 --> 00:30:55,915 Luther, meanwhile, has ramped up his bid for leadership. 147 00:31:12,075 --> 00:31:14,715 David has almost made it 148 00:31:18,435 --> 00:31:21,675 but he is in no fit state to fight. 149 00:31:26,555 --> 00:31:29,235 Luther spots David's approach. 150 00:31:33,475 --> 00:31:35,875 And readies himself for battle. 151 00:31:47,195 --> 00:31:50,075 David's only chance against Luther 152 00:31:50,994 --> 00:31:54,314 is to make himself look as strong as possible. 153 00:32:28,035 --> 00:32:31,875 Intimidated, Luther has to run. 154 00:32:37,635 --> 00:32:39,875 Without a blow being struck, 155 00:32:40,635 --> 00:32:42,754 David is back. 156 00:33:17,195 --> 00:33:21,955 David is finally reunited with his comrade, K. L. 157 00:33:53,155 --> 00:33:57,235 Grooming each other reaffirms their bonds of friendship. 158 00:34:47,994 --> 00:34:52,395 For David, returning is only half the battle. 159 00:34:53,635 --> 00:34:58,094 Exhausted and fragile, he's only hanging onto his leadership 160 00:34:58,194 --> 00:34:59,294 by a thread. 161 00:35:14,715 --> 00:35:17,114 Luther appears defeated. 162 00:35:21,715 --> 00:35:24,155 With a submissive gesture, 163 00:35:24,795 --> 00:35:27,515 he seeks forgiveness from David. 164 00:35:58,314 --> 00:36:01,834 But David is unwilling to accept. 165 00:36:21,475 --> 00:36:25,955 Over the following weeks, Luther finds himself sidelined. 166 00:36:39,395 --> 00:36:43,435 The other males now gather round David. 167 00:37:00,314 --> 00:37:04,275 And Luther has no choice but to step in line. 168 00:37:08,435 --> 00:37:12,035 David has his group around him once more, 169 00:37:12,395 --> 00:37:16,395 but he doesn't show them how weakened he really is. 170 00:37:19,555 --> 00:37:21,760 His injuries haven't healed 171 00:37:22,035 --> 00:37:24,355 and the males could turn on him again 172 00:37:24,395 --> 00:37:26,320 at any moment. 173 00:37:36,555 --> 00:37:40,114 For now, he seems to be fooling them all. 174 00:37:50,555 --> 00:37:54,155 He's buying himself time to regain his strength 175 00:37:54,314 --> 00:37:57,435 before another female comes into season 176 00:37:58,754 --> 00:38:02,314 when he will face competition once again. 177 00:38:16,915 --> 00:38:21,354 At last, rain-filled clouds bring an end to the draught. 178 00:39:59,075 --> 00:40:02,675 David's territory is transformed. 179 00:40:12,435 --> 00:40:14,915 There is water everywhere 180 00:40:15,555 --> 00:40:17,795 and a glut of food. 181 00:40:24,475 --> 00:40:27,275 The pressure on the group is lifted. 182 00:40:34,035 --> 00:40:36,560 Everyone can relax a little 183 00:40:36,635 --> 00:40:39,155 after months of hardship. 184 00:40:44,395 --> 00:40:47,635 David's strength appears to be returning. 185 00:40:49,955 --> 00:40:53,994 His displays in front of the group become ever more assertive. 186 00:41:11,435 --> 00:41:14,155 But in truth he remains weaker 187 00:41:14,275 --> 00:41:16,754 than he lets on to the others. 188 00:41:28,795 --> 00:41:33,275 Whenever possible he disappears to gather extra food. 189 00:41:45,195 --> 00:41:48,195 He gorges on everything he can find, 190 00:41:48,635 --> 00:41:50,120 fruit, 191 00:41:51,875 --> 00:41:53,320 leaves, 192 00:41:57,915 --> 00:41:59,715 even ants. 193 00:42:17,675 --> 00:42:20,675 He's almost back to full health 194 00:42:25,875 --> 00:42:30,235 but that alone might still not be enough for him to hold onto power. 195 00:42:31,595 --> 00:42:34,955 Soon, another female will be ready to mate. 196 00:42:49,675 --> 00:42:53,595 Last time one ally was not enough for David. 197 00:42:56,635 --> 00:42:58,955 He tries a new strategy. 198 00:43:10,675 --> 00:43:13,834 He starts grooming other males. 199 00:43:22,595 --> 00:43:24,195 First one 200 00:43:31,035 --> 00:43:32,715 then another. 201 00:43:48,314 --> 00:43:50,440 Slowly over weeks, 202 00:43:50,515 --> 00:43:54,275 he surrounds himself with a band of allies. 203 00:44:01,155 --> 00:44:03,354 An army of elders, 204 00:44:04,715 --> 00:44:06,400 experienced fighter, 205 00:44:06,475 --> 00:44:09,915 but too old to steal his crown. 206 00:44:14,915 --> 00:44:17,955 Now he must wait and see if he's done enough 207 00:44:18,114 --> 00:44:22,075 to prevent a recurrence of dissent in the ranks. 208 00:44:31,595 --> 00:44:35,275 Sure enough, a female has come into season. 209 00:44:40,275 --> 00:44:43,195 Her swelling doesn't go unnoticed. 210 00:44:59,075 --> 00:45:02,235 The last time David was vulnerable. 211 00:45:23,075 --> 00:45:25,834 This time he has allies 212 00:45:31,354 --> 00:45:35,114 prepared to charge ahead and clear his path. 213 00:45:46,275 --> 00:45:47,720 Displaying his strength 214 00:45:47,795 --> 00:45:51,275 reminds rivals to stay away. 215 00:46:13,275 --> 00:46:16,834 If David has fully secured his position as alpha, 216 00:46:17,035 --> 00:46:20,314 he will be the one who mates with the female. 217 00:46:29,834 --> 00:46:31,875 She catches his eye. 218 00:46:45,395 --> 00:46:48,715 With a number of allies positioned throughout the group, 219 00:46:50,354 --> 00:46:53,395 None of his rivals dare to challenge him. 220 00:46:55,555 --> 00:46:58,955 This is David's time when to mate. 221 00:47:59,635 --> 00:48:01,754 Nine months later 222 00:48:15,715 --> 00:48:17,994 a new baby boy. 223 00:48:20,715 --> 00:48:24,075 David's reward for maintaining power. 224 00:48:33,035 --> 00:48:37,635 His rule and the future of his dynasty is secure. 225 00:48:47,675 --> 00:48:52,314 By being alpha, David will have sired twice as many offspring 226 00:48:52,475 --> 00:48:55,395 as any other member of the group, 227 00:48:58,875 --> 00:49:01,155 and one day one of his sons 228 00:49:01,314 --> 00:49:05,555 might just have what it takes to be a future leader. 229 00:49:16,195 --> 00:49:18,575 David has become the most powerful 230 00:49:19,295 --> 00:49:22,880 longest reigning alpha this group has ever seen, 231 00:49:26,195 --> 00:49:30,035 but there will always be another dry season 232 00:49:31,715 --> 00:49:36,235 and there'll always be rivals waiting for their chance. 233 00:49:56,795 --> 00:49:59,280 The Dynasties crew spent two years 234 00:49:59,354 --> 00:50:02,595 capturing the story of these chimpanzees. 235 00:50:07,395 --> 00:50:11,754 This is how every day begins 236 00:50:15,435 --> 00:50:19,195 walking over one and a half a thousand miles (2400 km). 237 00:50:19,435 --> 00:50:21,975 You know it's steep when the chimps're being careful. 238 00:50:24,875 --> 00:50:28,475 carrying around 80 kilos each day. 239 00:50:33,515 --> 00:50:36,960 In some of the hottest temperatures on earth. 240 00:50:39,155 --> 00:50:42,114 It's got to be 46-47 degrees right now. 241 00:50:44,235 --> 00:50:47,795 I think it's fair to say we're filming blazing fire 242 00:50:48,235 --> 00:50:50,520 when it's 40 degrees. 243 00:50:50,795 --> 00:50:53,440 Wasn't probably my best idea. 244 00:50:54,354 --> 00:50:55,880 It's crazy. 245 00:50:56,114 --> 00:50:59,754 It's the second time we've had to run away from bees this morning. 246 00:51:00,314 --> 00:51:02,120 I've been stung, as you might be able to tell, 247 00:51:02,195 --> 00:51:05,515 it's swollen up a little bit. 248 00:51:07,754 --> 00:51:09,160 Oh my God! 249 00:51:14,235 --> 00:51:17,075 - Has stuck a bit? -It's pretty stuck. 250 00:51:18,955 --> 00:51:21,120 But the hardest challenge of all 251 00:51:21,195 --> 00:51:25,035 is understanding of the complextities of the lives of these chimps. 252 00:51:25,515 --> 00:51:28,800 This is only possible thanks to scientist Jill Pruetz 253 00:51:28,875 --> 00:51:31,560 and her team who've been studying this troup 254 00:51:31,635 --> 00:51:33,560 for nearly 20 years. 255 00:51:34,354 --> 00:51:37,720 One of the reasons I think I like to have people see the families of chimps 256 00:51:37,795 --> 00:51:41,000 that it is almost like a soap opera. 257 00:51:41,235 --> 00:51:43,435 There really is this... this social group that is 258 00:51:43,715 --> 00:51:46,555 not that different from humans. 259 00:51:46,675 --> 00:51:48,675 So you have, you know, that relationships change 260 00:51:48,715 --> 00:51:51,200 and you have different personalities. 261 00:51:53,675 --> 00:51:56,600 Jill's insights helped the team to get to know 262 00:51:56,675 --> 00:51:59,115 all the different characters she has given names to 263 00:51:59,155 --> 00:52:01,280 over the years, 264 00:52:02,075 --> 00:52:05,515 but right from the start one chimp named David 265 00:52:05,635 --> 00:52:08,000 grabs everyone's attention. 266 00:52:08,475 --> 00:52:13,314 We've only been here a few days, but immediately David stood out. 267 00:52:14,075 --> 00:52:16,195 He's really recognizable. 268 00:52:17,035 --> 00:52:20,994 He's a bit of a game-player, but also he's often on his own. 269 00:52:23,075 --> 00:52:27,395 He's very, very carismatic, he's got a real kind of swagger, 270 00:52:27,515 --> 00:52:32,195 he reminds me of Marlon Brando, actually, he's got this real, kind of presence to him. 271 00:52:35,235 --> 00:52:37,595 David's one of my favourite chimps, I may be a little biased. 272 00:52:37,635 --> 00:52:39,280 I think he's quite clever. 273 00:52:39,354 --> 00:52:41,440 I think I have him as a very strong, you know, 274 00:52:41,515 --> 00:52:45,075 a strong-willed chimp, a very dominant chimp. 275 00:52:45,435 --> 00:52:50,195 and he was very ambitious, when he first became a young adult, 276 00:52:50,354 --> 00:52:53,675 and he rose up the hierarchy really quickly for his age 277 00:52:53,994 --> 00:52:57,600 so he became alpha actually when he was a teenager. 278 00:52:58,795 --> 00:53:01,880 constantly having to fend off challenges 279 00:53:02,515 --> 00:53:04,840 from other younger males, 280 00:53:06,515 --> 00:53:09,640 it just goes to show it is tough being alpha, 281 00:53:10,395 --> 00:53:12,840 it's tough being at the top. 282 00:53:15,595 --> 00:53:18,520 After following David for so many months, 283 00:53:18,875 --> 00:53:22,075 he seems almost like family to the crew. 284 00:53:23,515 --> 00:53:25,475 So when he's violently attacked 285 00:53:25,515 --> 00:53:27,720 it's a real shock. 286 00:53:27,795 --> 00:53:31,955 Coming out this morning it's sort of heart-breaking to see this 287 00:53:33,435 --> 00:53:38,875 thimp that was so powerful. 288 00:53:41,275 --> 00:53:44,275 Oh, it doesn't look good. He's covered with flies. 289 00:53:45,275 --> 00:53:48,035 He's looking really bad, actually. 290 00:53:49,595 --> 00:53:52,114 And he's a frail old man, suddenly. 291 00:53:53,114 --> 00:53:57,275 Like he's ready to die, almost. 292 00:54:06,555 --> 00:54:09,955 The following day their concerns deepen. 293 00:54:11,555 --> 00:54:13,435 We arrived at five o'clock this morning 294 00:54:13,475 --> 00:54:15,800 we've not been able to find any of the chimps, 295 00:54:15,875 --> 00:54:18,155 we've no idea what condition David's in 296 00:54:18,195 --> 00:54:21,040 and he's in a bad way already. He needs some luck. 297 00:54:29,875 --> 00:54:32,875 Sort of worried about him and his state. 298 00:54:35,075 --> 00:54:37,475 I just really hope he's OK. 299 00:54:41,994 --> 00:54:43,715 We're still looking. 300 00:54:46,275 --> 00:54:48,840 They check the remote camera of the water hole 301 00:54:48,915 --> 00:54:51,994 where they hope David might have gone to drink. 302 00:54:55,635 --> 00:54:58,040 So I've just gone from the beginning 303 00:55:00,075 --> 00:55:05,155 and it looks like David hasn't been to drink yet. 304 00:55:14,555 --> 00:55:16,635 Michel's just found some tracks. 305 00:55:16,675 --> 00:55:18,560 How he finds these thing I don't know, 306 00:55:18,635 --> 00:55:21,000 but there's a chance we might catch up with him. 307 00:55:21,075 --> 00:55:23,080 Good sign. Let's go. 308 00:55:26,875 --> 00:55:30,875 Luckily, the tracks do indeed lead to David. 309 00:55:33,435 --> 00:55:36,320 We've been really worried with the extent of his injuries, 310 00:55:36,395 --> 00:55:40,075 we didn't know if he was alive, or if he wass ever coming back. 311 00:55:44,555 --> 00:55:48,875 He came right back in and maintained the alpha status. 312 00:55:51,235 --> 00:55:54,160 David has been alpha for almost double 313 00:55:54,235 --> 00:55:56,800 what we've seen with the other alphas. 314 00:55:57,075 --> 00:56:00,955 He's been challanged a few times, but he's been able to hold on. 315 00:56:03,075 --> 00:56:07,235 We saw him not only nearly lose his position 316 00:56:07,354 --> 00:56:10,160 in the hierarchy, but we saw him nearly lose his life. 317 00:56:10,235 --> 00:56:13,275 The injuries he sustained in the last coup 318 00:56:13,395 --> 00:56:16,400 would have been enough to kill me. 319 00:56:19,314 --> 00:56:22,435 David has been able to overcome the many challenges 320 00:56:22,555 --> 00:56:24,240 that come from within, 321 00:56:24,314 --> 00:56:27,880 but there's a greater threat that he and his group face. 322 00:56:28,395 --> 00:56:29,680 In Senegal, right now, 323 00:56:29,754 --> 00:56:31,475 the main threat to chimpanzees 324 00:56:31,515 --> 00:56:34,680 is the gold rush, which just obliterates huge areas. 325 00:56:35,754 --> 00:56:39,314 Less than a decade ago, the prices of gold rose 326 00:56:39,635 --> 00:56:42,160 and people have intensified gold mining, 327 00:56:42,235 --> 00:56:44,074 so that it really has increased 328 00:56:44,114 --> 00:56:46,200 the number of people here. 329 00:56:46,915 --> 00:56:51,275 Chimps here have lived alongside people for thousands of years. 330 00:56:52,395 --> 00:56:56,754 David's group has so far adapted to life alongside humans 331 00:56:56,875 --> 00:56:59,280 in a remarkable way, 332 00:56:59,915 --> 00:57:02,795 but with such demand for these minerals 333 00:57:03,195 --> 00:57:06,795 and ever more people searching for gold in this region, 334 00:57:07,435 --> 00:57:11,595 habitat destruction and poaching is inevitable. 335 00:57:13,515 --> 00:57:15,834 Yeah, there are not that many chimpanzees left, 336 00:57:16,075 --> 00:57:19,515 the west-African chimp here in Senegal 337 00:57:19,754 --> 00:57:21,435 and in west Africa in general 338 00:57:21,475 --> 00:57:24,000 has been upgraded to critically endangered 339 00:57:24,075 --> 00:57:26,560 because so many have been lost. 340 00:57:27,075 --> 00:57:32,114 In Senegal, the number of chimpanzees is now just in the hundreds. 341 00:57:35,075 --> 00:57:37,195 In the last 25 years, 342 00:57:37,715 --> 00:57:41,075 80% of western chimpanzees 343 00:57:41,515 --> 00:57:44,354 have disappeared and in the future, 344 00:57:44,675 --> 00:57:48,155 studies like Jill's will become increasingly important 345 00:57:48,435 --> 00:57:49,835 to help conservationists 346 00:57:49,875 --> 00:57:51,240 and local governments 347 00:57:51,314 --> 00:57:54,120 protect the surviving chimpanzees 348 00:57:54,195 --> 00:57:57,994 not only in Senegal but across the whole of Africa. 349 00:58:00,994 --> 00:58:04,994 Preuzeto sa www.titlovi.com 27237
