Can animals understand each other? And if they do, do they communicate through language? Is their language sophisticated enough to combine sounds into meaning in some grammatical sense? And can they talk about things that aren’t right in front of them? A lot of them can do some of those things!

Bees can explain where the good food is. Prairie dogs can tell each other if humans have guns on them. And gorillas can even understand sign language. Watch the video below by Ted-Ed to see how language works in animals.
