The One and Only Ivan

So, we have started our first chapter book for read aloud: 'The One and Only Ivan' by Katherine Applegate.

Ivan is giving us an introduction to his surroundings at the Big Top Mall.  In his descriptions, he uses verbs reminiscent of his jungle background to describe human activities:
Cars 'stampede', humans 'forage' through shops, they 'hunt' frantically in the shops.  Imagine you are a gorilla.  See if you can think of another everyday human activity and turn it into how it might look from the jungle, or from the wild.
Maybe we 'bare our teeth' at each other when we're happy?  Or 'stalk' each other down the roads?
