Campbell's Monkey

• The males add a suffix to their alarm calls that changes the meaning of the message, and combine the calls into sequences with rules of their own: it is the animal communication system most often compared to the rudiments of human syntax.
• Females and young react differently depending on the order of the calls, which shows that the information lies in the sequence and not only in each sound taken separately.
