Kanzi Kanzi (born October 28, 1980), also known by the lexigram (from the character 太), is a male bonobo who has been featured in several studies on great ape language. According to Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, a primatologist who has studied the bonobo throughout her life, Kanzi has exhibited advanced linguistic aptitude.[1][2][3] Biography[edit] Born to Lorel and Bosandjo at Yerkes field station at Emory University and moved to the Language Research Center at Georgia State University, Kanzi was stolen and adopted shortly after birth by a more dominant female, Matata. Teco, son of Kanzi, was born June 1, 2010.[7] Teco has been exhibiting behaviors that resemble autism in young children.[8] Examples of Kanzi's behavior[edit] The following are highly suggestive anecdotes, not experimental demonstrations.
