1. First, be sure that you are calm. Members of the primate family are generally good at reading body language and feelings. Make sure that you keep your breathing steady.
2. Try to avoid sudden movements. Chances are the chimpanzee will be scared of you too. Recognize that you are in his/her territory; make sure that you don't get too close unless invited (for instance, by its owner).
3. If the chimp decides to attack you, try and find an object to put between you and it. A door is probably the best one- get in a different room and stay there.
4. Be sure you call for help if you do get attacked! Don't hesitate to call others (including police) if you are afraid of a possible attack.
