Is it only humans that have
language?
- Do animals communicate? How? Which ones?
- How does human and animal language differ?
Yes, animals do communicate with
all different types of communication. The common one they use is sounds. Sounds
can mean all different types of things to each and different animal the common
one is mating calls and to do that they use sounds. If a dog is angry or sees
that danger is coming they will send out a loud bark to communicate.
Touching is another form of
communication for Animals for example chimpanzees greet each other by touching
hands. Elephants entwine their trunks to show affection, giraffes touch each
other’s necks to also show affection. Horses rub noses to also show affection.
Animals also show a lot of
emotions through body language and different forms of communication such as
anger such as gorillas they stick out their tongue when they’re angry. Monkeys
use facial expressions for a lot of things. A frown of a Rhesus Monkey is a
clear sign of unease.
Animals can also communicate
through sending out smells (Airborne Chemicals) to get messages to other
animals. Pheromones are an important part in reproduction and other social
situations. Animals also use scent for many ways such as to mark out territorial
boundaries, to warn off predators, or to attract prey.
Another form of communication
for animals is body language. For example the bees will dance when they have
found nectar. The bee in the hive will dance and the dance directs other bees
to the location of the nectar. Dogs will
wag their tails as a sign of pleasure/ happiness.
Our form of communication is
what makes us different to animals. Such as they need communication for pure
survival while as we have gone past that.
