Sound Communication
Animals us sound to communicate. Sometime in night you can here crickets rub one forewing against the other forewing. This produces a chirping sound that males use to attract females. Each cricket species produces several calls that are different from others cricket species. Some elephants mike a pitch that we can not here.
Vertebrates use a number of different forms of sound communication. Rabbits thump the ground, gorillas pound their chests, beavers slap the water with their flat tails, and frogs.
Light communication
Some animals such as of flies, marine organisms, and beetles have a special form of communication called bioluminescence. Bioluminescence is the ability of certain living thing to give off light. This light is produced through a series of chemical reactions in the organism’s body. Fireflies use the bioluminescence to attract a mate usually the male. Females should emit flashes of light at a correct time in order to attract males.
