Mail ape

I think you meant to type "mail ape" as in "ape mail"!

Ape mail is a playful term that refers to the way apes, such as chimpanzees and gorillas, use tools to send messages to each other. In the wild, apes use sticks, rocks, and other objects to create "mail" that they can use to communicate with each other over long distances.

For example, a chimpanzee might use a stick to dig up a termite mound and then use the stick to send a message to another chimpanzee by poking it into a hole or a tree. The receiving chimpanzee would then retrieve the stick and use it to send a response back to the original sender.

Ape mail is an important form of communication for apes, as it allows them to share information about food sources, potential threats, and other important events in their lives. It's also a fascinating example of how animals use tools to communicate with each other!
