Special communication methods of animals

In nature, animals always have many ways to communicate with their fellow humans to hunt, find food and avoid danger. Their 'languages' are extremely diverse, from facial expressions, cries, whistles to even singing sounds. Here are the special methods that animals use to communicate with each other.

1. Mouth copy (monkey species)

Most monkeys can communicate with each other by copying their mouths.

Scientists believe that human language may have emerged very early in the evolutionary process. According to Tecumseh Fitch, head of the Department of Biological Cognition at the University of Vienna, human language markings are marked by the mouths of monkeys. Most monkeys have mouth-copy movements when they meet. This process, although only emitted very small sounds, was created by a series of complex movements that quickly combined between lips, tongue, jaw and small U-shaped bones. The frequency of these movements is 5 times per second.

2. Ultrasonic waves (Tarsiidae species)

Tarsiidae is a mammalian family of primates. This family was described by Gray in 1825. They have not evolved over the past 45 million years. This is an animal with a very small body size, adults with a maximum length of about 13cm. Tarsiidae has a very special ability to generate ultrasonic waves with frequencies from 70 kHz to 90 kHz to communicate with each other. They often use this deafening 'cry' to call their partner or young offspring to their mother when in danger.

3. Dancing (Uraeginthus cyanocephalus bird)

Uraeginthus cyanocephalus is a species of bird in the family of birds and sparrows. They live mainly in tropical regions with a warm climate. Their food is small nuts and insects.

This bird has a very interesting communication method. They will dance very fast to send messages to each other. The birds often jump by tapping their toenails on the branches very quickly that humans cannot see with their eyes.
