By the time, when she was a child, she was curious about the animals. In many girl`s childhood there always had a doll to spend time with. So did Jane. But her doll was a big chimp and she named it Jubilee. Many people thought it was a horrible doll for a little girl. She also had a lot of friends to play with . But what was most special for her was being out in nature. One time ,she dug up some earthworms. She took them back home and put them under the pillow. Her mother found it and told her that the worms needed to be in their own homes. Jane was unhappy, but still returned the worms to the yard. When she was 5 years old, she was until loved animals . When she was curious to see how chicken laid eggs, she even stayed in the cotton for 5 hours . What perseverance this girl had! In these five hours her parents were very worried about her safety. They even called the police to report the girl was missing. When she come back. Her mother didn`t scold her . Because she knew that Jane wasn’t a naughty girl. She was just walking in her own way . When Jane found a job at a company which was to make documentary films, she got a letter that changed Jane Goodall’s life. It came from her old classmate----Clo. Clo`s family had bought a farm in Africa .and he wanted her to visit his farm . Jane Goodall liked to do that. But she still moved back home in Bournemonth. She began to save up for her trip. All in all, Jane was a good waitress. She could do more things than others. She could carry many plates balanced on her arms. Soon, Jane`s Africa trip began. Three weeks later she got there. The first day, she got a best birthday gifts. There was a giraffe ran behind their car. Soon, Jane knew she was a guest, so she couldn`t stay at the farm for more than a few weeks.

Jane decided to work as Leakey at a museum in the Kenya . In a short time ,Jane learned how to dig fossils. She spent 10 hours to dig fossils a day, but usually she found nothing. Jane Goodall wasn`t the only one. One person lived in the forest was too lonely. The person lived beside Jane was Jane`s mother----Vanne . In this place, a cook was very important for any scientist. Vanne and Jane lived in the same old army tent. In the tent, there was a separated area for washing clothes. The toilet there was outside. In the forest,there always were many mosquito there. So they put the mosquito netting covered the front of the tent . First, the official in Africa had worried about Jane`s safety . From whom could Jane get comfort? The answer was : Jane's mother. So they called Jane`s mother Vanne to go with her. When Jane went to work ,Vanne always wrote up her notes of the day. But what did Vanne do all day while Jane was out to work She set up a clinic and provided basic health care to the local family. She even helped to deliver babies. Soon Jane and Vanne went into the forest. Compared to find fossils ,to find chimps was much easier. Soon, they needed local guide ,but Jane thought two persons made more noise than one. Because she had no guide ,so it was dangerous for her to work on the forest. But chimps created a bond between Jane and themselves. Now ,Jane got discourage by  little progress, she had made with the chimps .She and Vanne both got sick .One kind of mosquito lived in the forest named malaria.They had no drugs. First, Jane had told her mom that there wasn`t malaria in Africa. So they didn`t take any medicine. For two weeks, they never left their tent. By the time,Jane was very sad .She even blamed herself .But they were so lucky, that they recovered for two weeks . In October, Vanne had gone home. She began to exploring an area------Peak by herself. Whenever rainy or sunny, she got into the forest and watched chimps. Soon the chimps accepted Jane .And Jane gave name for chimps .In all of the chimps, Jane liked the chimp named Flo best. Compared to other chimps, Flo had a funning -looking.  Flo was a playful mother in all of the chimps .In the chimps family, there were many  interesting things happened .As night came, the forest faded into darkness .One of the chimps named William was often in bloodthirsty .In a manner of speaking,he  usually  turned back. He beat and kicked Jane .So Jane was very sad. But she was still watching for William .Jane began to be famous. Soon, National Geographic magazine wanted the world to know Jane and her chimp friends.So they sent a photographer to go with Jane to join in the chimps. The chimps accepted Jane in a long time. By the time, their teamwork was always in bad. So Jane didn`t determine it might disrupt her work. So Jane decided let her sister come here to work with her .Judy and Jane looked a lot alike .So it might puzzle chimps. The chimps might accept Judy in a short time. After one week ,they started went into the forest together. But the big trouble was ,Judy 'photos weren`t good for magazines. So Judy needed to go home By the time ,Louis found a young photographer to help Jane . His name was Hugo and he interested everything in chimps. It waa impossible to dissociate camera from Hugo ,one of his famous photos was two chimps in fight for the leadership. All of his photos were wonderful! When they got big success, Louis was very happy about that people knew  the importance of Jane`s work. Soon Jane got a chance to join Cambridge University. Two years later, she became Dr.Jane  Goodall. By the time ,Jane and Hugo became close friends .The personalities made them unhappy .They thought Hugo was more formal person than Jane was .Every night ,they talked about chimps .They thought everyone were lost their mind .Soon, they fell in love .In 1964,they were married .The wedding cake of their marriage was a monkey named David .On the hall, there were many pictures about their chimps friends .After that The National Geographic magazines decided to sponsor more money for Jane and Hugo`s work .By the time, many young graduate students joined in the team to  help Jane .Soon Jane `s work attracted many scientist `s attention . At first all of the scientist thought that a chimp group was made up of one male and lots of females .The answer here : Don't speak in such abstract terms. The chimp group was made up by many males and females .When the leader of the group became old and weak ,the younger often fight others to get the leader ship .Jane first went to Gomb, the leader .the leader was Golish .later a chimp named Mike wanted to get the leadership .Mike wasn`t stronger . But he was smart so he got the Leadership. Usually, the chimps at the zoo could live for a long time .They could live up to sixty-five years old .But the chimps in the wild were different. Perhaps, they could only live for forty years .What makes such difference? Because it was harder to survive in the wild .One of the animals in the forest named Baboons might attack and kill them .So, the chimps were always in great danger .In the forest, there were some diseases too. Such as flu, polio. What could diseases do for wild animal .Always, scientist tired their best to sun away from controversial problem. All of the diseases could make the wild chimps die. In 1966, a new in Gomb made Jane sad. One of the diseases named polio made several chimps died. And Jane `s favorite chimp also died in polio. Jane knew the life wasn't permanent, so she until wrote an article about Flo .  In Gomb it was the first time that an article about animals obituary in Sunday Times.
