It is generally accepted that animals cannot speak the way humans do. But everyone knows that they can make different sounds. How do representatives of the animal world communicate with each other?
Instructions
Step 1
The different species of birds don't just chirp, echoing with each other. They talk, share joy, warn of danger, show alarm. The bat is also capable of communicating with its relatives using the ultrasound emitted, which cannot be discerned by the human ear. If the situation calls for it, the bat makes clear sounds that are characteristic only of representatives of winged membranous animals.
Step 2
The bee speaks with its congeners through the bee dance and the release of special pheromones. Bees and other insects have their own inimitable signals that they exchange with each other - stamping their feet, rubbing their bellies, vibrating their mustaches. The cuttlefish changes color when it wants to communicate something to its fellows or those who see it.
Step 3
Those present will hear the lion's roar throughout the district. Thus, the lion expresses that he is on his territory and will not tolerate enemies or strangers on it. Just like the master of his herd, the leader of the elephants trumpets. In order to make warlike sounds, he raises his trunk and blows air into it like a pipe.
Step 4
During the mating season, you can hear how storks, pigeons, herons talk among themselves, and black grouse, nightingales, crickets publish special roulades to attract females to themselves. By the way, with their singing and chirping, detachments of insects and birds often not only call the females, but also warn that the territory is occupied, that they are ready to fight for their female.
Step 5
People are used to thinking that some representatives of the animal world, familiar from childhood, make the same sounds, but this is not so. For example, chickens and roosters can make up to 15 different sounds that mean different things, toads and frogs - up to 5, domestic pigs - up to 25, crows - up to 290, representatives of the monkey genus - up to 40. Dolphins can make 30 different sounds, foxes - 35, rooks - up to 130. And these sounds can mean at different times the desire of an animal to mate, eat, attack, betray its aggression, anxiety and so on.
Step 6
Scientists have identified a number of facts that animals express their desires in one way or another. The sounds made by various animals that the human ear cannot pick up were able to be picked up by highly sensitive devices. It has not yet been possible to translate the "words" of the animal world. But one thing is clear that individuals of this or that species of animals fully communicate with each other.
