Animal signals are communications used by animals to convey information to one another. These signals can be vocal sounds, body movements, color changes, or chemical releases. For example, a bird might sing to attract a mate, while a dog might wag its tail to show happiness. Signals can express emotions, warn of danger, establish territory, or help in finding food. Diverse species have evolved unique ways of signaling, making it essential for their survival and social interaction. Understanding these signals helps us appreciate the complexity of animal behavior and the relationships within ecosystems.
