Pair of Siamang Gibbon Apes
Betty also watched Siamang gibbons swing through trees at up to 35 mph. These apes regularly break into songs comprised of complex patterns and rhythms. Each pair's song combines three types of unique vocal patterns, which strengthen lifelong bonds and serve as territorial alerts.

Chaser the Border Collie Book
The average dog can learn up to 165 words, but Chaser knows over 1,000. With training from her owner, John W. Pilley, Jr., she recognizes every one of her thousands of toys and learned the name of a new toy through deductive reasoning. (Photo courtesy of Chaserthebordercollie.com.)
When Betty introduced a male doll named Robert, Chaser promptly selected it among other toys when her owner asked her to get "Robert."
