How do chimpanzees communicate?

Answer 1

Chimpanzees (chimps) communicate by using facial gestures, loud sounds, and sign language. They have large brains and are extremely smart. When they warn each other or fight, they usually scream or make loud noises. When chimps are attacked, they usually start to scream to tell the attackers that, if they come closer, they will get hurt. Chimps also give out loud hoots when they are fighting or are arguing over a little food. Each chimp has its own hoot, so that it can be identified. All zookeepers know this. When chimps are scared, their lips move, and they start to scream. When they are relaxed, their faces are very calm. The chimps' full, open grins mean that they are scared or are very excited.

Second answer

Chimps have senses that are similar to the senses of humans. Chimps are always good at seeing the behavior of others. They can also learn to communicate with sign language, which I think is great because then they can know that we are not going to hurt them.

Third answer

They communicate vocally, visually, and tactily. Food grunts are an example of the first. Face, body, and hand gestures are examples of the second. Hugging is an example of the third.

Answer 2

Given both have a common ancestor, we use similar systems of facial, hand, and body gestures. But as far as communicating in strictly human systems of non-verbal communication, chimps have been taught sign language. Different methods have been used: 1) direct manipulation of the fingers combined with food rewards; and 2) social learning--i.e., the individual learns to do the hand gestures of their own accord by watching those that they interact with. The second method, according to Dr. Roger Fouts and his past teachers, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, bears the most fruitful results.

Answer 3

In the wild, chimpanzees communicate with one another using vocal cues and nonverbal gestures. In captivity, a number of chimpanzees have learned sign language, and have been able to communicate with humans.

For chimpanzees in the wild, there is no set language; but it is known that mothers are able to teach their young their own particular set of verbal and non-verbal communication skills. Various populations seem to use different gestures and varying vocal signs, in order to communicate.

Answer 4

They use a system of pants and grunts to do things like asking for food, calming a child, showing subservience to an alpha, and to call others to a tree laden with fruit. They communicate mainly through body, face, and hand gestures.

Answer 5

Monkeys communicate through visual gestures and movements, sounds and smells. The most common form of communication amongst monkeys is the call, because the thick forest can make it difficult to see or smell other monkeys in the area.

Answer 6

By various facial expressions and sounds, simple touching .
