Great to hear, Gweneth! We're glad it was helpful! Faith Feb 18, I think the animals are us because we are animals to. And we use iPhones. Feb 19, Thanks for sharing your opinions! Josh Larsen Dec 7, Dec 8, Wes Dec 2, It's kind of joking at the beginning but it gets more fact full as it goes. Dec 3, Thanks for the feedback, Wes! We appreciate you visiting Wonderopolis and leaving a comment! Oct 26, Coco Dec 4, Dec 4, Hi, Coco!
Some people don't like corndogs, and that's OK too! Oct 27, Megan May 25, This is cool I want to learn way more about animal communication I would love to do research on this to learn more.
May 25, Wonderopolis May 14, Hello, someone! Thanks for commenting! Wonderopolis Oct 16, Jada and Jaylin from Ms. Aug 29, We learned a lot from this article. An example from the text is most animals use their body to communicate. In the text it says that someway that you can know if a dog has to pee is when it scratches on the door or the wall.
If they lick you multiple times that mean they are happy to see you a lot. We have a request, can see how sea life communicates under water? Also, how do animals learn to communicate with humans? Are they just born like that or does it take time for them to learn? Wonderopolis Aug 29, Johal's Class May 29, We found it very cool the way the dolphins communicate.
We found the non-verbal techniques very interesting. We wonder how ants communicate. Thank you for encouraging us to wonder! Wonderopolis May 29, Nicole Sanchez from Ms. May 2, How do dinosaurs communicate? Well I know that there is a dinosaur that has a crest on top of their heads and it makes a squeaky sound and they communicate! Wonderopolis May 2, Abby Apr 29, Wonderopolis Apr 30, Electro-slice Apr 29, Wonderopolis Apr 29, The Wolf Apr 29, Fathima Apr 29, This the best wonder question about animals.
Cannot wait for the next wonder question. And, wonderopolis is the best learning and wondering website I ever did see.
Addy Apr 29, We're glad that you enjoyed it! Tesa's Class Apr 29, Arthur Apr 29, I like the wonder of the day because it is cool. The wonder of the day was cool. Isaac Apr 29, Aden Apr 29, Emma Apr 29, Can you put up next time, how to make ice cream?
Gracie Apr 29, Hoyt and her sub class Apr 29, I never knew that deers use their tails to warn others of danger. Renzo Apr 29, I think that is so cool. Max Apr 29, I really like the cool facts about how animals communicate with each other. Kate Apr 29, I never knew that animals from different species could talk to each other. Allison Apr 29, Halie Apr 29, I like dolphins when they do flips and flips in the air. Dolphins have benefit around for a long time.
As their name suggests, they have a red belly that they show towards predators. Chemical communication between animals is one of the most important and poorly understood communication methods in the animal kingdom. One of the most curious examples can be found within social insects living in organized groups. For example, bees communicate with each other through pheromones.
By using these chemical signals, they can alert other members of the hive to the presence of danger or where to extract nectar. The sense of touch is an important communication method, especially for mammals. We can easily see it in chimpanzees. These animals groom each other to remove dirt and parasites.
This behavior is not only for practical hygienic purposes. However, this proximity also allows for rapid and direct communication. Tactile communications are an effective means of promoting social bonding, such as grooming in monkeys or beak-rubbing in birds. Tactile communication is also used to convey mood, such as biting or scratching to indicate aggression or warning.
Many male animals will fight for territory or mates, with the potential to inflict serious injury or even death. However, bites and scratches may also be used as a form of play in young animals or as part of the mating process in adults. Many creatures use visual cues to communicate.
This is most notable in birds, with species such as peacocks and birds-of-paradise using colorful feathers and elaborate displays of movements to attract a mate.
Visual communication can be observed over considerable distances, but can be limited in environments with limited visibility, such as night-time, in murky water or in thick vegetation. Many animals, such as fireflies, glow-worms and deep-sea fish use bioluminescence to communicate in these low-visibility environments.
Visual communication is also usually dependent on the presence of the individual. However, some visual signs, such as scratch marks on a tree trunk, can remain after the departure of the animal. But rather than an app on their phones, they simply nod their heads at treehoppers—insects that digest sap an excrete it in a sugary liquid known as honeydew. When the gecko communicates to the treehoppers that it would like some of that honeydew, the insects oblige, excreting it right into the amphibian's mouth.
You're probably familiar with electrically charged sea creatures such as the electric eel, but there is a particular species of electric fish that is able to use its voltage as a means of communicating. Known as "weakly electric fish," these creatures, which, as their name implies, produce a mild electric discharge, use it to "chirp" out information , such as a male stating it's attracted a female. When two of these fish meet, they are known to tweak their wavelengths in order to allow each other to produce similar levels of voltage.
As it turns out, these critters communicate through a kind of head-banging. Spending their lives underground, they can communicate with one another by thumping their heads against the tops of their tunnels, in that way sending vibrations through the earth that travel much farther attempting to make a loud noise would be able to. The pace and intensity of the thumps indicate different meanings.
Rock on. When black-footed titis a brown, rainforest-dwelling monkey , use high-pitched squeaks to let each other known not only what types of predator may be near but their general location.
Researchers have found that the monkeys vary their calls in a number of ways, creating their own syntax and complex communication system. Sometimes, singing to oneself is a way to tell the world you are away in your own world and don't really want to be bothered by all the craziness happening elsewhere hence, singing in the shower.
That's true of silverback gorillas too , which researchers have found will hum or sing while chomping down on their favorite vegetation. It's not just a way to indicate that they are enjoying their meal, but a way to convey that they would prefer not to be bothered while eating. When they go quiet, that's a sign that they are willing to chat. Dholes, otherwise known as Asiatic wild dogs, are also sometimes called " whistling dogs "—and with good reason.
These fox-like animals alert each other about the location of prey through whistle sounds. This allows them to make coordinated attacks on other animals much larger than them, communicating in packs to take down prey that's more than 10 times their own body weight.
These creatures are known for their complex underground tunnel systems, but they also have complex ways of calling to one another, using slightly different intonations reportedly of a "chee"-like sound depending on the type of predator—coyote, hawk, human—nearby.
In one study , they were found to seemingly identify the difference between a person wearing a blue shirt and one wearing a yellow shirt. As if its name isn't cool enough, the blue-capped cordon bleu also has some killer dance moves, using a kind of winged tap dance to attract a mate. Both male and female birds of this species court by holding a piece of nesting material in their beak, and then bob up and down while they sing, and make super-fast dance steps with their feet.
