Unknown things about animal language
Cats only "meow" when exposed to humans, frogs using ultrasound frequencies or baboons hate slang are animal language secrets that can make people surprised.
1. Cats call "meow" when contacting people
While using body language and small cries to communicate with other cats, "meow" is the only sign of cat's respect for humans. The cat calls "meow" to replace the greeting, to attract attention, to demand food or to let people know what they want to go out to get out on the sun.
2. Dog squirrels have complex languages
When deciphering the squirrel's cries, researchers found that this could be the most complex language they have ever observed. Dog squirrels can describe carnivorous animals in incredible detail including species, size, shape. They can even convey the colors of clothes that people are wearing or transmitting all the information of a small cry that only lasts for a split second.
3. Beetles use Mooc code
To signal in the "tunnel " in the trunk, the atropot species knocked its head along the top of the tunnel, emitting cries that spread along the length of the body to signal the other members of the group, Similar to the trailer code system.
4. Elephants have many different voices
According to leading researcher on elephants, Andrea Turkalo, elephants also have different voices like humans. After studying a group of wild elephants in the Congo for 19 years, Turkalo can quickly identify a specific elephant based on its cry. Turkalo is studying to understand the meaning of cries and compose an elephant language dictionary with many vowels.
5. Hens talk to eggs
24 hours after laying eggs, the mother chickens can hear the chirping of chicks through the eggshell. The mother hen will clamor in response to the chicks' fear with a very sweet gesture to show their safety.
6. Baboons hate slang
In about 6 weeks, 6 baboons are considered words that include the word root and compound words projected on the touch computer, then make requests to identify meaningful and meaningless words. With more difficult tests, instead of using random characters, wrong words are arranged like the right words. Test results show that baboons have identified 75% of wrong words and slang words.
7. Frogs communicate by ultrasonic frequency
A Southeast Asian frog named Huia cavitympanum can communicate using ultrasound frequencies that humans cannot hear. This animal can hear and emit sounds up to 38 kHz, while the sound level that humans can detect is 20 kHz.
Scientists believe that this frog has adapted to use this way of communication because they live in areas where the water is flowing strongly, making sounds at low frequencies difficult to hear.
8. Dolphins learn a second language
When observing the sounds of a dolphin's sleeping sound, the researchers found they were speaking another language. While performing, the dolphins at a water park in France were exposed to the song recordings of the whales. Although dolphins never imitate these songs, the sounds in their sleep have a strange resemblance.
9. Parrots do not imitate human language
There are many recorded cases showing that parrots have the ability to not repeat unconsciously what they hear but only learn words and absorb conversations. An African parrot whose name is Alex is very famous for its ability to clearly identify and pronounce abstract concepts such as color and difference. Many other parrots have a rich vocabulary such as Prudle, the parrot that was recorded in the Guinness World Records when it knew 800 magnetism until the time of death, or N'kisi knew 950 words.
10. Fish use sign language
Coral grouper shook its tail like a Polaroid image to coordinate with other members of the herd while searching for food. After the traps and prey entered, the fishes headed towards the prey and danced to signal their presence. The fish also use the same signs as to call the herd to search for prey.
