Vervet monkeys have three confirmed predators: leopards, eagles, and pythons.<\/span><\/p>\n
With that many enemies, they are always on guard for danger, and when they perceive a threat, they give an alarm that is specific to the threat.<\/span><\/p>\n
If it\u2019s an eagle, they give an eagle alarm. They take up the cry, and run for cover under the trees.<\/span><\/p>\n
If it\u2019s a python that\u2019s threatening them, the vervets do the opposite.\u00a0 They climb up into the tree repeating a different call \u2014 snake! snake! snake!<\/span><\/p>\n
If they spot a leopard, they make a still different cry, and leap into the tree, only this time they go out onto the narrowest, most lightweight branches \u2014 the perfect place to be when being pursued by a 200 pound cat that wants to eat you.<\/span><\/p>\n
Robert Seyfarth and Dorothy Cheney of the University of Pennsylvania have even stimulated these responses in vervets using alarm call recordings.<\/span><\/p>\n
I think it\u2019s pretty clear that African Vervets have a language.\u00a0 Their vocabulary may be limited, but their cries perform the same task that some of our presentations are meant to perform.<\/span><\/p>\n
They watch out for challenges, dangers, and instability in their communities. They get their listeners to pay attention, solve a narrow range of problems, and DO something specific.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
