How do you share your thoughts? You might use words. You might use your hands. Animals do not speak the way we do. But they have lots of ways to communicate.
Sounding Off
This monkey has a loud voice. Other monkeys can hear its howls from miles away. This howl says, “This tree is mine!”
Happy Tails
Animals also use body language. See this dog’s wagging tail? See its happy face? This dog wants to play.
Secret Signals
Ants leave a trail of chemicals. Other ants can sense it. They know to follow along.
Touching Trunks
Humans hold hands. Elephants hold trunks. This is a way to communicate. It shows they care.
