"At the time of filming, it looked like there were sort of signs that the group was starting to show some internal conflict-like there could be some problems in this mega-chimp society," Reed said. Reed had made a previous film about the Ngogo chimps, tracking their story from being discovered to around the year 2016. That's an easier job being the manager of that situation than in such a big group." With a group that has 40 or 50 in total population, there might be five rival males within that particular group.
