How do you communicate with gorillas?
We don't communicate with the gorillas by any form of sign language or any hand motions. It's actually quite straight forward. We will talk to the gorillas as we would talk to a human being and they do understand the tone of our voice and different words, but obviously the gorillas don't communicate back to us. They understand their names very well, so in many ways it is not that much different from looking after your own pet dog. The gorillas will understand a number of commands. Gorillas are also more intelligent than dogs but it's quite easy to communicate with them.
