Content description from WorldCat.org (https://www.worldcat.org/title/signs-of-the-apes-songs-of-the-whales/oclc/843077034&referer=brief_results) :
A follow-up to an earlier Nova production, First signs of Washoe, this program reviews current language experiments with apes, dolphins, sea lions, gorillas and whales. Since some of the earlier attempts to teach animals to use human language have failed, scientists are turning their attention to the study of how animals communicate with each other. The documentary follows Washoe, a chimpanzee who learned sign language, and looks at more recent language experiments being done with primates, dolphins, sea lions, and whales.
