Gorilla: from the Atlanta Zoo a new way to communicate with people

A group of researchers analyzed it Atlanta Zoo and made a discovery. We talk about the gorilla from the zoo that has a . has made new verse to get the attention of the caretakers to get more food. It is typical for people to invent a new verse or word to say or communicate something to others. Among the few animals that can do this are chimpanzees and orangutans. Both lived in zoos. To these two animal species we can add the gorilla.

After hearing the gorillas’ unique cry to Atlanta zookeepers, the experts began to study them. It has been confirmed that they did not use that particular verse to communicate with each other or with other animals nearby. So the researchers conducted a simple experiment. Eight different gorillas were placed in three different scenarios. In the first one with a guard nearby with no food. In the second there was only food. In the third, a nearby zookeeper with food.

The sound gorillas made when one man present with food was defined snarl. This sound is a cross between sneezing and coughing. The goal is to get attention to have one food reward. The snough is proof that gorillas create new sounds for an intentional purpose of their own, aimed at a desired goal.
