Chiphuphu chachisangalalo chikuphulika kuchokera mkati mwa nkhalango, kulimbikitsidwa nthawi yomweyo ndi mawu ena khumi ndi awiri, kukwera mu mphamvu ndi tempo ndikukwera ku crescendo yaphokoso. Uwu ndi mayitanidwe odziwika bwino a 'panthoot': mwambo wolumikizana womwe umalola ophunzira kuzindikirana wina ndi mnzake kudzera m'mawu awo. Kwa omvera aumunthu, akuyenda m'nkhalango zakale za Gombe Stream, kuphulika koopsa kwa msana kumeneku ndi chizindikiro cha kuyandikira pafupi ndi chibale chapafupi cha munthu: chimpanzi.
Gombe ndi malo ang'onoang'ono kwambiri m'malo osungira nyama ku Tanzania: malo osalimba a chimpanzi omwe amakhala pamtunda wotsetsereka ndi zigwa za mitsinje zomwe zili m'mphepete mwa mchenga kumpoto kwa nyanja ya Tanganyika.
Anyani ake a chimpanzi - omwe anthu amawachezera - adatchuka chifukwa cha ntchito yoyambirira ya Dr. Jane Goodall, yemwe mu 1960 adayambitsa pulogalamu yofufuza za khalidwe yomwe tsopano ndi kafukufuku wautali kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Fifi, yemwe anali womaliza kukhalapo m'gulu loyambirira, anali ndi zaka zitatu zokha pamene Dr. Jane Goodall adafika koyamba ku Gombe, yemwe adabadwa mu 1958 ndipo anamwalira mu 2004.
Anyani amagawana pafupifupi 98% ya majini awo ndi anthu, ndipo palibe luso la sayansi lomwe likufunika kuti tisiyanitse mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya mathalauza, ma hoots ndi kulira komwe kumatanthauzira anthu otchuka, olamulira amphamvu, ndi anthu othandizira. Mwina mudzawona kuthwanima kwa kumvetsetsa mukayang'ana m'maso mwa anyani, kukuyang'ananinso - mawonekedwe owoneka ngati odziwika bwino kudutsa zopinga zazing'ono kwambiri zamitundu.
Nyama zina zoyamwitsa zomwe zimaoneka kwambiri ku Gombe ndi anyani. Gulu la anyani a azitona a m'mphepete mwa nyanja, omwe akuphunziridwa kuyambira m'ma 1960, ali ndi malo ogona bwino kwambiri, pomwe anyani a mtundu wa red-tailed ndi red colobus - omwe amasakidwa nthawi zambiri ndi anyani - amakhala m'nkhalango. Mitundu ya mbalame 200 ya pakiyi imayambira pa chiwombankhanga chodziwika bwino cha nsomba mpaka chamtengo wapatali.
Malo awiri a Peter omwe amadumphira mofatsa pakati pa alendo. Pambuyo pa mdima, thambo lowala la usiku limaphatikizidwa ndi nyali za maboti ang'onoang'ono ambirimbiri amatabwa, akuwomba m'nyanja ngati mzinda waukulu.
