Chimpanzees+Gestures

  media type="custom" key="3128814"

 Chimpanzees use many gestures to indicate needs and emotions just like humans. When a chimp approaches another with open hands, it means they want food. When chimpanzees are friends, they hold hands, hug, and even kiss eachother. A worried chimp makes a lip-puckering face, and a frightened chimp will bare there teeth. A smile indicates a relaxed friendly chimp and when a chimp's lips are tightly pressed together they are ready to attack.

A chimpanzee may stretch out an open hand to another as a signal for support, this same gesture toward a monkey with food signals a desire to share. A scream, however, is a typical response when a monkey feels threatened or intimidated, just like humans. This is so for both bonobos and chimpanzees.

These facial expressions and hand gestures show how much monkeys are really like us humans!
