How to speak monkey: The language of cotton-top tamarins
4:59 · Anne Savage · 2024-06-07
The cotton-top tamarin is a very vocal monkey — the species communicates using a sophisticated language of 38 distinct and grammatically structured calls! Anne Savage teaches a few of these chirps and whistles, taking us through a day in the life of Shakira the tamarin (using sounds pulled from the wild) as Shakira signals to her family, talks to her food and warns against potential predators. [Directed by Avi Ofer, narrated by Addison Anderson].
