Frodo: (1976-2013)
Frodo, unlike his brother Freud, was a violent and unpopular bully. As the largest and heaviest chimp at Gombe, Frodo was able to overthrow his brother in 1997 using shear force. Dr. Goodall, in an interview with National Geographic last year, stated that “very often, if two were playing, if they saw Frodo come along, they stopped playing. Because they knew as soon as he joined in, he’d hurt one of them.” Frodo became famous after he attacked Gary Larson during the cartoonist’s trip to Gombe in 1988. Frodo fell from power in 2002 after growing sick and eventually died in 2013.
