Where Republic of the Congo, Africa
When 1999
Photographer Michael K. Nichols

"Nearly all chimpanzees in central Africa have learned to flee the scent or sound of humans, who hunt them for food. But in 1990 J. Michael Fay of the Wildlife Conservation Society discovered chimps in the Republic of the Congo that had probably never seen people. 'They stared at us for hours,' says Fay."

—From "Geographica," August 2001, National Geographic magazine
