Jane Goodall says that after 30 years of studying chimpanzees in Africa, she's still learning about them. "They are so like us. They're very, very complex . . . individualists," Goodall said Monday during a stop in Oklahoma City on a fund-raising tour. Goodall said she has been working in Tanzania and other African countries to save young chimps that are orphaned when poachers shoot the mothers for food or so they can sell the babies on the black market. "They're sold as pets or to dealers for entertainment or medical research," she said. "We found one that had spent 21/2 years chained to a toilet in a gas station."
