alarm calls

Alarm calls are vocal signals used by animals to warn others of potential dangers, such as predators. When an animal perceives a threat, it may produce specific sounds that alert nearby individuals, allowing them to take protective actions, such as fleeing or hiding. These calls often vary between species and can convey different levels of threat. Alarm calls play an essential role in social species, enhancing group survival by promoting awareness and coordinated responses to danger. This behavior is an important aspect of communication in the animal kingdom, reflecting evolutionary adaptations to enhance survival chances.
