The "Language" of Animals
Animals communicate using various methods such as vocalizations, body language, gestures, and scents. These signals convey information about threats, resources, mating, and social bonds. For example, birds sing to establish territory, while dogs use barking and tail wagging to express feelings. Some animals, like bees, perform intricate dances to share the location of food sources. While animal communication often lacks the complexity of human language, it is effective within their social and environmental contexts, enabling animals to coordinate behaviors, warn of danger, and strengthen social cohesion.
