Discover the secrets and myths about animal communication. Do animals have sounds and signals that convey their thoughts to each other? How do they warn others of danger? Or hunt together in packs? Wolves howl, lions roar, and creatures as different from each other as crickets, birds, and whales sing. Are they telling other animals about themselves? Sometimes they use displays instead of sounds. Some use scents- to attract mates or warn off predators. Do animals use their senses like we do to communicate?
