All about Animal Communication
Animals communicate to share information about food, danger, mates and territory. They use sounds, smells, body language, touch and even light. A dog wagging its tail or a bird's song can both carry a clear message.
Dolphins click and whistle to find food and talk to each other. Wolves howl to call the pack together, and honeybees dance to show where flowers are. Some animals, like fireflies, use light flashes to signal.
