Anzac

Anzac, like Sam and Jeje, hasn’t left the dorm in some time. This is because
Kungoulou, an adult male chimp, hasn’t been getting along with some of the other chimps in the group, deciding as a result to not return to the dorm, hiding in a difficult-to-reach marsh area on the island. This creates a complicated situation, and the JGI staff need to ensure Kungoulou’s safety. They decided not to take the other chimpanzees out of the dorm until they manage to recover Kungoulou and get him back to the dorm, so he can be reintegrated with the other chimps. But this process is turning out to be slower than expected.

There’s a lot of stress in Anzac’s group, but she still knows how interact well with her fellow chimps, and they respect her.
