A wildlife biologist I knew once worked in a major zoo near a sport stadium, and
was even able to identify a specific sound the chimps made when and ONLY when
the Goodyear blimp flew over. When she heard that sound from them, she knew
they were quite literally telling each other (and her) that the blimp was in
sight.
