This is a bad example. All of this gorillas using sing language were always presented using cherry picked examples. It would be huge news if they displayed any kind of intellligence beyond animal instinct and trained responses.

I read that big part of their reactions were true and not modeled but it might be true what you say. Primates use tools and stuff, which tends to show that they learn how to manipulate objects for their interest. Yet sure we don't have intelligence from then shown.
