ENJOY!

Chimpanzees communicate 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. They also give out loud hoots when they are fighting or when arguing over little food. When they are scared, their lips move and they start screaming. When they are relaxed their face is very calm. A chimp’s full open grin means that he or she is scared or very excited.

Chimps also have senses that are alike to people. They also communicate without using symbolic communication. Each chimp has their own hoot, so the other chimp can be identified. All zookeepers know this. When a chimpanzee gets attacked, they usually start screaming to tell the attacker that if you come closer, you will get hurt. Chimps are always good at seeing the behavior of others. They can also learn sign language. Chimps can communicate with us using sign language, which I think is great because then they can know that we are not going to hurt them. These are all the ways that chimpanzee's communicate.
