The 26-year-old researcher, Andrew Oberle, had been at the sanctuary for just a few weeks. He made the mistake of breaking the rules and stepping past one of the two fences around the adult enclosure, leaving only a single electrified fence between him and the chimps as he talked to a tour group.

Texas grad student mauled by chimps knew the risks
"We all really encouraged him," said Lisa Corewyn, a primatology doctoral student at the University of Texas at San Antonio where Andrew Oberle is working on his master's degree. "Once we knew he wanted to work with chimps, we said 'Go for it!'"
Cussons was one of the first to respond to the calls for help Thursday after Andrew Oberle, a 26-year-old graduate student who had been spending his summer conducting research at the institute, was attacked by two chimpanzees after he stepped into a restricted area while leading a tour.
The attack on Andrew Oberle, 26, who was leading a tour, was likely prompted by chimpanzees wanting to mark their territory, said Eugene Cussons, director at the Jane Goodall Institute Chimpanzee Eden near Johannesburg, where Oberle had been working for the summer.
