VOICE AND 'LANGUAGE" OP CHIMPANZEES 



Fear 



Both chimpanzees were influenced more or less by appre- 

 hension when in the open. This was shown, particularly in 

 Panzee 's case, by their unwillingness to go more than a short 

 distance from human protection. The feeling in greater or 

 less degree was revealed by various incidents, some of which 

 brought out conspicuously Chim's care, of Panzee. 



On the way to the pasture, Panzee once stopped at the 

 brow of the hill, and looking around apprehensively, uttered 

 this phrase: 



"7^ p p

Chim, who was a little way ahead, turned back instantly. 

 He put his arms around her protectingly, and looked about as 

 though he too were afraid. In this position they walked 

 slowly on, she continuing to utter her fears and he on guard 

 for danger: 



^ ^# =

ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 



A strong wind which made an unusual sound in the grass, 

 bushes, and trees seemed to be the cause of their anxiety. 

 Returning after several hours she begged to be carried: 



^
