Frans de Waal, chimpansee expert, who wrote a lot of interesting stuff about our them, almost never went into a cage with a chimpansee except famously as described in his book "Mama's last hug", with a dying female chimp. He said they could be dangerous.
Interestingly, Jane Goodall seemed to have a lot less trouble with that.
(This is not meant as a criticism of either)
