British psychologist Robin Dunbar studied chimpanzees and noted that their grooming (stroking each other) is a form of communication equivalent to our language. The types of strokes and body language sometimes is about other chimps, which is gossip. Other primates (guerrillas, orangutans, apes, bonobos and monkeys) have been studied for their communication skills. It's possible that dolphins gossip. Everyone knows about the language skills of parrots. Irene Pepperberg, at Brandeis University, is an expert on parrots. She told me that parrot talk is not technically gossip (judgmental comments about other parrots), though some parrot owners claim that their parrots gossip. Millions of people claim that their dogs understand their words and emotions and react with empathy.
