- Role: setting
- In the book: With Christophe Boesch, the team runs through the forest at 4 a.m. to find sixty chimps, then spends a week following them and films a cooperative colobus monkey hunt.
- Why it matters: A central, long scene: the hunt ends the programme and reveals team-work origins. The park is not named in the text.
