An American researcher mauled by chimpanzees in South Africa has been identified as a graduate student in Texas studying anthropology.

 

Andrew Oberle was in critical condition Friday after undergoing surgery near Johannesburg. Officials say the 26-year-old was giving a lecture Thursday at the Jane Goodall Institute Chimpanzee Eden when two chimpanzees grabbed his feet and pulled him under a fence. (AP)
