In the past couple of shows we have talked about hearing laughter in the woods. I want to thank Dan for sending me this, it is very interesting. The BBC writes “Bonobos,one of our closest relatives, seem to have discovered the secret of happy, long lasting relationships…and laughter definitely helps!”

Bonobos are known more for their constant sexual interactions between members of the ttoup, and even with themselves.

THAT’S PROBABLY WHY THEY ARE ALWAYS SMILING AND LAUGHING. LUCKY BASTARDS!

Aw, so adorable when they are young, but so un-comely, (a.k.a. fugly,) when they grow up. It seems even the smallest monkeys, not meaning the young but instead in size, have terrible tempers and are apt to do mischief. Strange critters indeed, and probably why Squatches are so weird and with unpredictable temperaments.

Yeah If a chimp can have the strength of a man or better. Our big hairy friend can be a real danger to us. Add the unknown level of thought processes. Then you hear of the challenged individuals. We don’t get to pick the individuals we run into. I was lucky to get a good encounter. That laughing in my mind’s picture was a mother playing with a baby. Well cute when you get that picture. We were escorted out of the area by others. Had we not retreated. Could have been a real different event. Please forgive me for not knowing the Tribes name. Tahoe area first nations refer to playful laughter as belonging to a water baby. Second hand information from a Tahoe Resident. Not use of the context of that belief. If they are referring a different creature or a baby that loves the water.
I do know that tribe ask the bigfoot tribe to stop taking their children or else. They didn’t comply and the tribe burn them alive in their cave.

I’ve heard this a few times, but I think the Barred Owl is to blame. They make a really wide variety of noises including a sound of laughter or monkey chatter. Click on the link below to hear the various noises they make.
