In the United States died unique orangutan who was able to communicate with people

Unusual animal could communicate with people phones.

At the zoo Atlanta (USA) dead orangutan Chantek, who was known for his ability to communicate in sign language. Chantek died at the age of 39 years, I must say that this is a good age for the animal (on average, they live 30 years in captivity longer).

Have Canteca noted heart disease. Most likely, there is a related problem was the deterioration and subsequently death. But the exact cause will determine the autopsy.

Chantek was born in Atlanta, at the Research center. For the past ten years with the orangutans was working anthropologist Lin mills. It Chantek learned sign language. Later he successfully applied the learned in communication with zoo staff, where he stayed from 1997.

Note an interesting detail, Cantec communicated by using sign language only with the zoo staff. With visitors he used common for primates screaming.

Interestingly, Chantek possessed skills that were atypical for his kind. So, the orangutan would often clean its cage or making tools. Also the monkey can easily get directions from the University to the nearest fast food restaurant.

Now workers of a zoo to teach such skills (sign language) other orangutans. However, most likely, a predisposition to a sign language will not in all individuals. Chantek is still the only one in the history of the animal to learn to communicate.
