when we think of communication,we normally think of using word-talking face-to face,writing messages and so on,bue in fact we communication far more in other ways,our eyes and facial expressions usually tell the truth even when our words do not.
so,do animals communication ? not in words,although a parrot might be trained to repeat words ang prases which it doesn't understand,but as we have leart,there is more to communication than words.
take cats for example,thay always around with you ,set a soft sound,they even use body language of gesture,
do you think about that?

Animals do communticat all the time . For instance a cat will purr when you pet him/her to let you know that they like when you scratch their ears or pet them . A dog will growl to warn you of danger , birds are often heard tweeting back and fourth to each other . All animals have a way to communicate with each other and they have a way to communicate with us as long as we are paying attention to what they are trying to tell us .

My Cleo, (that's her in my avatar picture) used to give a little chirrup as thanks when I let her in [em]happy[/em. Big cats like lions which hunt together have been seen to cooperate to the extent of one cat showing itself to the prey and causing it to run towards the others who are waiting in ambush. That not only requires communication, but cognitive reasoning and planning as well.

I think animals have their own communication also like human being.I do believe in the movie that animals talk to each other.They have their own world also.So they have their own way of communication to understand each other.

They communicate in so many ways. All we need to do is open up and look at them to see it. My animals let me know exactly what they want; food, love, inside, outside.
They also tell me who is outside; happy bark, warning bark, angry bark, the @#$% neighbor bark.
Yes there is a special bark for one neighbor family. My dogs hate them with a passion.
Actually they hate the whole family with the exception of one daughter. She's a nice girl who loves animals.
