Still Waters Posted February 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Gorillas, and particularly adult males, frequently sing and hum while they eat, finds new research. The happy-sounding gorilla singing and humming, described in the latest issue of the journal PLOS ONE, could communicate to others that the diner is content. The sounds are referred to as singing and humming "emphasizing the pure-tone acoustical elements that may resemble melodic bird songs and music," according to authors Eva Maria Luef of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology and her colleagues Thomas Breuer and Simone Pika. http://news.discover...#mkcpgn=rssnws1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawken Posted February 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I would say it's because they're enjoying their meal. Like we sing in the shower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted February 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I would say it's because they're enjoying their meal. Like we sing in the shower. I think we mostly sing in the shower due to the acoustics... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taun Posted March 2, 2016 #15 Share Posted March 2, 2016 He should start a band. The funky monkeys. The chimps have already beaten them to that.. But seriously... maybe there is something fundamental about the various ape species and music/singing (perhaps cetaceans as well)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
