Sign Language Chimp Dies
Washoe, said to be the first chimpanzee to learn American Sign Language, has passed away in the state of Washington. This remarkable chimp had a vocabulary of 250 words, and even taught other chimps sign language! She was born in Africa about 1965.
We have much to learn about animal intelligence!
