Escape to Chimp Eden season 1 episode 10 titled "The Rise of Cozi" takes you on another mesmerizing tour through the Eden wildlife sanctuary. This emotional and engaging episode follows Eugene Cussons and his team as they strive to introduce a new young chimp called Cozi to his fellow primates.
Cozi is a baby chimp who was tragically orphaned when poachers killed his mother. Since then, he has been living with Eugene and his team at the sanctuary. While Cozi is soon to be three years old, it's time for him to be introduced to the other chimps, so he can learn the key social and survival skills he will need when he rejoins the wild.
However, the team realizes that there's a potential obstacle; the older alpha male Jao. The last time Jao met with a new chimp, it ended in battle, and the team fears that the same thing could happen with Cozi.
To neutralize the potential threat, Eugene comes up with a novel idea. He matches Cozi with his favorite worker at the sanctuary, Sarah, to ensure that he always has someone to protect him and guide him through the unknown. Sarah and Cozi instantly hit it off, and they form an inseparable bond that serves as an inspiration for everyone working at the sanctuary.
As the episode unfolds, we watch Sarah do her best to walk Cozi through the ins and outs of the sanctuary. We get to see the two playing and exploring together, and it's hard not to smile at how adorable they are. We also get to watch the other chimps as they react to Cozi's arrival. They are curious but cautious, and some of them need more time than others to get used to Cozi.
Eugene and his team also take the opportunity to educate viewers about the impact of poaching on wildlife, particularly the great apes. They explain that poachers target chimpanzees to sell them as pets or to use them in the bushmeat trade. The team emphasizes the importance of conservation as a means of protecting the great apes.
As the episode comes to a close, we're left with a heartwarming feeling. We get to see Cozi grow and develop under Sarah's guidance, and we witness the other chimps gradually accept him into their circle. We leave feeling deeply satisfied at how the team at Eden Wildlife Sanctuary can make such a significant difference in the lives of these innocent creatures.
Overall, "The Rise of Cozi" episode of Escape to Chimp Eden Season 1 is an emotional and engaging story about the rehabilitation of an orphaned chimp.
