How many different kinds of monkeys (or apes) know ASL, or can learn it?

What are the names of them, and where can I find out how we teach them ASL? (A website maybe?)

As far as I know it has only been taught to a Bonobo Ape.

Chimps,orangutans and gorillas are the only primates (other than humans) that have been taught to use ASL successfully to date.

Several chimpanzees, a gorilla, and an orang-utan. That's about it.
