NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS Show: Africa Bili Ape Log of DAT: 5 Engineer: Thompson Date: February 9-11, 2001 ng= not good ok= okay g =good vg = very good 00:30 AC and tracker discussing lion tracks on riverbed. 01 :40 We're following this lion along this river bed and these are fairly recent tracks blc they don't have leaves in them, which seems to be how they tell whether they are new or not...CT: which is to say? .. AC: which is to say there's a lion around here ... CH: Either we're following him or he's following us ... 02:50 Tracker gives his name. 04:00 Stopdown 04:33 -5:20 Quiet forest ambi ... bird chatter away. Pair of green bulls. 06:02 RW: You found some footprints? .. CB: No they found some footprints. Is that so exciting? How big are the footprints? .. Normal footprints ... Maybe I go to the normal chimp then. I don't trust the normal footprint... I have the feeling the chimps are somewhere in the south of these two rivers ... RW: further downstream? .. CD: Yeah, because they should go where the water is. And you're on the ridge west of Digbi, between Digbi and Lungbi, you see there is a huge patch of forest in the south, and we went there, between Lungbi and it's very nice forest, big trees, much more open on the ground ... RW: The forest linking the Digbi and the Lungbi ... CB: Exactly. The Lungi is very ?? I believe it flows into the Digbi according to what they explained. There was a big swamp area, but it was dry ... RW: So the question is, is there a big one now? .. 07:50 RW: So how do you feel about this, because it seems to me that we've given up on the idea of a big ape, a gorilla ... let's see, Esteban's here. SO you have the idea of a project now. You'd like to see if the chimps can be approached? .. CB: From the start, I was kind of skeptical about the big ape indications, I just wanted to find out interesting chimp population, sense of unusual behaviors ... RW: to Take Carl's side, there's still some evidence of a big ape, but at any rate. So what's your aim ... CB: I don't think you can discover in two weeks about the cultural aspects of a chimpanzee's population ... RW: You're right, you'd be very lucky ... CB: So that's one of the reasons why it would be important to stay longer. Maybe after 3 months you'll gain some ideas about that prospect, but I tend to think also there is a very low density of animals here. Maybe large diversity, but low density ... 09:39 RW: Yeah, it's impressive how many nests there are in the riverbed ... CB: But they have no choice. RW: but everywhere except the riverbed there are no nests at all, and the riverbe... (Notes truncated)
