2. Birth Date and Growing Up Jane Goodall was born in London England on April 3 rd, 1934. She got a toy chimpanzee from her father when she turned 2 years old. It was named Jubilee and she still has it today. Jane was always interested in animals and helping them. When Jane was little she was very interested in animals and especially Africa. When she was young her favorite books were Tarzan and The Jungle Book. When Jane was 20 years old she wanted to go to Africa and study animals. She told the mayor that she would be coming to Africa, but his response was a little different than what she was expecting. The mayor said no! It is not safe to come alone. So, she got her mother to come along. http://www.webster.edu/~woolflm/janegoodall.html http://www.janegoodall.org

3. Early Story Jane set off on her journey when she was about 23 years old. Her mother, Vanne, who was an author, totally supported Jane and even was her first travel companion. When Jane arrived in Africa she found that she had a love for the chimpanzees and noticed that we had a lot in common with these animals. Chimps are like us, their children are sometimes frightened like we are sometimes. Jane was very patient and observant and very good at being welcomed by the animals. She was able to complete her childhood dream of watching animals in their habitat. http://www.webster.edu/~woolflm/janegoodall.html http://www.janegoodall.org

4. Contributions Because of her research we know that Chimpanzees have different personalities and that they can use tools. Her studies show us that Chimpanzees are very much like us. She not only observed animals but she also helped to protect them and their habitat. She has encouraged people all over the world to help protect the animals and their habitats. Jane was very close with her mother and was always encouraged by her. http://www.webster.edu/~woolflm/janegoodall.html http://www.janegoodall.org
