At the #ORANGUTAN FOREST SCHOOL, one of the most important vocalizations our orangutans have to learn is the “kiss squeak”.

This sound is similar to the human kiss sound. However, it has a different meaning for orangutans.

It is used to show dominance and to intimidate or scare predators away. Therefore, is very important that the caregivers use this sound in the right context so that the orangutans can learn to use it and understand it in the right way as an intimidation sound, and towards predators, instead as a friendly sound.
