Poor lady.
And this reminds me... why do you think the most renowned primatologists (or at least the ones most famous to the general public) are usually women? You know, Dian Fossey, Jane Goddall, Biruté Galdikas, Rita Miljo Penny Patterson (ok, a psychologist not a primatologist, but you get what I mean)...1

Thats very sad news even though I wasn't all that familiar with her work, RIP
Never really though about why most of them are women. Maybe because the male apes would be more aggressive towards men or something so they don't have quite as much success at getting close to them?0 -

Maybe... but didn´t Biruté Galdikas report an attempted rape by a male orangutan to a female human? After reading that, if I was a female, I wouldn´t go anywhere near apes...:pac:
I believe it may have something to do with maternal instincts. I don´t know why or how exactly, but I think it must play some sort of role there. Just a guess tho.0
