## Resource

Did you know bonobos have their very own way of talking to each other? In this Wow in the World episode, Mindy is using a new language learning app to try and help her communicate better with her pen-pal. The only issue is, her pen pal is an ape! From playful gestures to powerful vocalizations, bonobos use a language all their own to express feelings, build relationships, and keep their families connected. This jaw-dropping episode dives into the science of how bonobos communicate, why it matters for scientists, and what kids can learn about the importance of empathy, teamwork, and listening.
