I'm quite sure Jane Goodall would.
Some months back I got a wild hair (or is that hare?) and spent some
time looking into what was known. My memory isn't what it was when I
was a young thing, but I remember that there were some credible
accounts of scary encounters (one that I remember involved a Bigfoot
trying to rip through a roof).
It's an interesting subject. The smarter a primate is, the more likely
it is to stay hidden. IIRC, gorillas were discovered about a hundred
years ago or so.
