Bonobos communicate using a wide range of vocalizations and gestures. Compared to chimpanzees, bonobos appear to use and combine vocalizations and gestures more flexibly. They hoot over long and short distances, mostly when they arrive at feeding or nesting sites.Click to see full answer. Likewise, people ask, can bonobos talk?Kanzi cannot speak in a manner that is comprehensible to most humans, as bonobos have different vocal tracts than humans, which makes them incapable of reproducing most of the vocal sounds humans can make.Also, how are bonobos similar to humans? Bonobos seem in many ways to be more similar to humans than chimpanzees. In the proportions of the limbs, in the narrower trunk and in the smaller canine teeth the bonobo more closely resembles humans. When observed in captivity they also walk bipedally more often. People also ask, how do apes communicate with each other? Most primates spend their lives in complex, tightly woven societies and need to frequently communicate with each other. They communicate with smells, sounds, visual messages, and touching. Non-human primates emphasize the use of body language. Our languages are complex symbolic systems.How can we help bonobos?Providing the needed salaries, equipment and supplies for eco-guards will enable teams to protect bonobos in their natural habitat, educate local populations of the value of bonobos, conduct scientific research, and rescue orphans.
