Can Orangutans talk? - Catherine - 08-09-2016 This is an interesting question and one that is being looked at. It seems that maybe they can actually use speech. https://www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa=t&url=http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/08/what-a-talking-orangutan-is-teaching-us-about-human-speech.html&ct=ga&cd=CAEYACoUMTA0Nzk3Njk1ODc0OTExNDM3MzQyGjNjMjE1ZTRjZjVlN2VhNjE6Y29tOmVuOlVT&usg=AFQjCNGAuVpb13qPCdndCDtQhTMfOf6V1w https://www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa=t&url=http://site.people.com/pets/orangutans-exhibit-human-like-speech-for-the-first-time-on-record/&ct=ga&cd=CAEYASoUMTA0Nzk3Njk1ODc0OTExNDM3MzQyGjNjMjE1ZTRjZjVlN2VhNjE6Y29tOmVuOlVT&usg=AFQjCNHORBj1MdvvPvdPFUAES6svR4lzHg I am sure they are intelligent enough for speech. It will be amazing if they are actually able to make the sounds and say things to us. |
