A gorilla named Michael is the first "talking" male gorilla in history to learn to communicate through gestures. His vocabulary included more than 600 words, and thanks to gestures the zoo workers learned about the fate of his parents. Michael was able to "tell" that his mother was killed by poachers for meat.

Just imagine how many stories we would learn if we taught this language to all the primates!
