Detailed item info

Synopsis
Vince Smith is the manager of the Diane Fossey mountain gorilla conservation program. He is also a highly entertaining writer with a warm heart and an eye for the absurd. A CHIMP IN THE FAMILY is Smith's account of a chimpanzee named Sophie, who was born in an English zoo in 1990, abandoned by her mother, and taken home by Smith and his wife to raise as their own. To complicate matters, their son Oliver was born six months later, and the two grew up together as siblings. The family's affection for Sophie, the sad attempts to return her to zoo life, and the safe haven she eventually finds with a chimp community form the basis for Smith's story, which, as it draws us into an extraordinary world, also reminds us that chimps are our closest animal relatives.

Publisher's Note
The manager of the Diane Fossey Gorilla Fund's mountain gorilla conservation program in Rwanda shares his extraordinary story of raising his human son and chimpanzee pet together while working at the Chester Zoo in England. Original.
Industry reviews
"Eloquently arguing that chimps have their own type of culture, Smith shows that chimps self-medicate to rid themselves of parasites, groom each other and use tools; Sophie uses an acacia thorn to remove a splinter from Oliver's foot. While much of Sophie's story is tragic, Smith's humor and insights make for a heartfelt read." Publishers Weekly (04/05/2004)
