I HEARD THEIR SOUNDS, WHAT WERE THEY DOING, SPEAKING?

   ??, I SAW THEM...

Animals have sophisticated communication systems that can be seen as a sort of language, even though they do not have language in the same sense as humans. Animals communicate with one another through a range of cues and signs, including sounds, body language, and chemical messages.

Intricate communication systems including the use of symbols and grammar have been discovered in certain species, including birds and primates. For instance, chimpanzees have been trained to understand some of the human languages and have been seen utilizing sign language. Like certain bird species, parrots and corvids have been shown to mimic human speech and even employ words in context.

Whales and dolphins employ sophisticated vocalizations to communicate with one another. These vocalizations, which can take the shape of whistles, clicks, and songs, are assumed to communicate details about the animal's identity, environment, and social standing.

Animal communication systems perform significant roles in the lives of the animals, such as warning against danger, locating mates, and forming social hierarchies, even though they are not as complex as human language. Animals have sophisticated communication systems that enable them to connect with their environment and one another, even though they do not use language in the same way humans do.
