Wouldn’t it be incredible to chat with a dog, gorilla, dolphin or even a turtle?
While we don’t fully understand what animals are saying, that doesn’t mean they aren’t already "talking” to each other—and to us! Research shows that animals communicate in different ways. This includes smell, touch, sound and visual signals...not to mention chest beating, dancing, singing and peeing! Many of the messages that animals send are a mystery. Thankfully, advances in technology and artificial intelligence are expanding our understanding of animal signals in the wild.
Meet the scientists who study animal communication and discover how it varies across species. Learn why white-faced capuchin monkeys like to stick a finger in each other’s noses and find out how alligator babies can be heard up to five days before hatching from their eggs. From whales to honeybees and bats to bonobos, Animal Talk reveals that there are thousands of conversations taking place between animals everywhere. And, we if try to listen, we just might be able to hear what they’re saying.
