can animals communicate with each other?????????

Answer 1

yes - see humans for one example

Answer 2

Good Morning. I just got here and saw your question.
Animals communicate with each other by instinct and through using highly-developed senses such as smell. You must have seen dogs sniffing other dog's butts to see if they are a dog they know or if the dog is ready to mate and you've probably;y seen - on TV - how lions(mainly the female lions) spread out and work together to bring down water buffalo and other large game. Monkeys hoot warnings to other monkeys when they spot lions. Even ants use scent trails to tell other ants where your picnic is and bees fly special patterns to inform other bees of the location of flowers so they can feed their queen.
Chimps have been studied that almost communicate in human-like ways as they show other chimps how to make certain tools and where they've put things so they can find them later.
I don't know why the "extra-religious" types object so strongly to animal communication. Scientists are discovering that even plants respond to certain human input and can grow better when exposed to particular sounds and music. The Mythbusters on the Discovery channel tested some plant- communication theories recently and confirmed them.
Thank you for asking. I'm your friend,

Answer 3

yes. even bacteria can communivate at a very basic level. I was reading only yesterday that some types of cancer cells communicate with less effective cancer cells in order to assist in creating a tumour. Gorrillas have intricate facial expressions which they use to portray all sorts of information. Dogs bark to ward off enemies. Bears make themselves larger to do the same. There are so many types of communication in the animal jungle. Try some of these methods yourself and watch the reaction of other humans.

Answer 4

Of course. Many make a large range of sounds and body language is very important in the animal communication world.

Answer 5

Hello Stacy , I am sure that all animals do communicate within their own type of animal , Shire horses to shetland ponies , different breads of cattle, dogs and cats etc. etc.etc.............Obviously they do not " talk" with each other, but there signals , ear ,eye and body language are used all the time. however the language they use towards humans is entirely different....................They do however send out warning to other species and also give out responsive signs,growls and defensive body language..............it is obviously very difficult to descover how hedgshogs or badgers etc.communicate......but I'm sure that they all do................A recent survey in the U.K. proved that cattle do *moo* in a similar dialect to the cowmen who look after them!!! It is indeed a strange world, we can train a budgie or a parrot to speak in any human language ,( however I'm convinced that they do not know what they are actually saying ) obviously we can mimic most bird songs, or even animal sounds but we too have not got a clue as to what we're "saying"...........**...CHEERS**

Answer 6

Yes. It is common for animals in the wild to use different calls to signify a warning, direction or beckon. Recent research also suggests that animals display regional accents and dialects.

Answer 7

Only in a very basic fashion. They warn each other of outside dangers,(barking, yowling or other vocalizations) or food, they warn each other of their own aggression (growling, raised hairs on the back of their neck, pinning their ears, bitting.) HOrses, dogs and cats communicate these easily, and dominate each other with these action. But they don't carry on conversations on the weather, how comfy something is or their favorite type of food.

Answer 8

Well, of course they can, but they hardly hold conversations the way we do. If you have ever heard a bird's alarm call, you know that they are communicating danger to others. Have you ever noticed that cats only miaow to humans? They have a completely different language between themselves.

Answer 9

Do you mean cross-species or globally. I know I can communicate with my dog, cats, chickens and horses and they try their utmost to communicate with me. I know what they want and when they want it and they can certainly inter-communicate amongst themselves - my chickens certainly know when the horses don't want them eating their food and the dog and cats have a mutual understanding on most things. They certainly get along a lot better than most humans!

Answer 10

well yes, they do, i dont see how a complex society such as ant hill could survive with out communication, look what happens if you smoke and cant talk without a voice maker box thingey, and if the batteries die, and you are a quadroplagic, then you wouldnt be able to command the great ant army to victory!

Answer 11

Yes. Any animal that makes noise, even if it's just a warning call like birds.
