Every traveller that treks gorillas on their Rwanda gorillas tour, Uganda gorilla tour, or Congo gorilla tour has witness different behaviour among the gorillas but the eye-catching behaviour is the way gorillas communicate with their young ones.
Its true gorillas use a non-vocal form of "baby talk" to communicate with their infants, but first. A first among primates, the discovery may give insight into how similar human communication evolved.
During research about how gorillas communicate, it was noticed that gorillas older than three (3) years have a special way of communicating or interacting with the young ones. One of the researchers forms the Department of Education and Psychology at Berlin's Freie University said that she was surprised that infant gorillas are treated differently. He further reported, “With infants, the older gorillas used to touch and repeated gestures such as grabbing or stroking the infant's jaw more frequently than they did when communicating with their peers.”
When these gorillas are with their mothers, they communicate through baby talk. Baby talk is a universal mode of connection between adults and infants. Regardless of their language, people baby-talk in the same way, with a raised pitch and a swooping, sing-song style.
The team observed 24 gorillas, which they separated into four age groups: infants, juveniles, sub-adults, and adults. These scientists focused on their behaviour during their play sessions. During the observation, the play sessions started and ended via non-vocal communication; an exchange of signals involving the head, limbs, and body posture used to manipulate another gorilla's behaviour. The team saw that gorillas in the three older groups touched infants more, which may be because the youngsters themselves communicate with their mothers via touch, Luef said.
Life is less certain about why the older gorillas repeated their gestures with infants, but it's possible that the older gorillas know that their messages are easier to comprehend when repeated, she said.
Study author Luef added that, in general, non-vocal language is too often neglected in primate-communication research. By contrast, human studies often incorporate both verbal and nonverbal language.
Tailor the activity to either your Rwanda wildlife safari, wildlife safari in Uganda or Congo wildlife safari and have more of sightings but a lifetime experience. if a tourist needs a lifetime sight of millions of wildlife, a safari to Kenya, tour Kenya or Tanzania tour is one of the wise options to undertake.
