How do we communicate with chimpanzee?

I went an animal exhibition and i learned how to communicate with chimpanzee. Have u ever communicate with chimpanzee? Chimpanzees communicate using facial gestures, loud sounds, and sign language. When they warn each other or fight, they usually scream or make loud noises. They give out loud hoots when they r fighting or when arguing over little food. When they r scared, their lips move and they start screaming. When they r relaxed their face is very calm. A chimp’s full open grin means that he or she is scared or very excited.

Chimps also have senses that are alike to people. They also communicate without using symbolic communication. Each chimp has their own hoot, so the other chimp can be identified. All zookeepers know this. When a chimpanzee gets attacked, they usually start screaming to tell the attacker that if you come closer, u will get hurt. Chimps r good at seeing the behavior of others. They learn sign language also. Chimps can communicate with us using sign language, which I think is great because then they can know that we r not goin to hurt them
