Happiness is Belching

Looks like I forgot to post Friday's doodle. It has nothing to do with belching, that will come later.

It was fun to see folks stretching their arms out to try to see if this is true.

Today's doodle is a bit more fun.

Called belch vocalizations, gorillas make a burping sound when they are at ease. The BBC interviewed Ian Redmond, who worked along with Dr. Fossey of Gorillas in the Mist fame. He said this:

The contentment sound, which is often termed singing, can extend from the belch vocalisation call when gorillas are at ease and can take many different forms. Mr Redmond thinks gorillas can recognise each other’s voices so they can tell who is making the reassuring noises from the tone of their voice.

So, not only do gorillas belch, they also sing!
