body language in animals

Animal body language is how animals communicate using their movements, postures, and expressions. For example, a dog might wag its tail and loosen its body when happy, while raising its hackles and growling if scared or aggressive. Cats purr or arch their back when relaxed or curious. These signals help animals convey feelings and intentions, allowing them to interact safely and effectively with others. Understanding these cues helps us interpret their mood and needs, fostering better relationships and ensuring safety for both animals and humans.
