- 3. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM WHAT IS AN ANIMAL LANGUAGE??.
- 4. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM is a non-human animal communication that is similar to human language. Humans are different from other animals. One of these differences can be found in the use of language. Differences between animal and human communication, as we shall see, are profound, but all the differences seem to derive from a single basic fact: ANIMAL LANGUAGE
- 5. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM “Humans possess a natural, inborn facility to be creative with symbols; as far as we know, animals do not.”
- 6. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM Animals may not be able to master language, but all animals communicate, or intentionally transmit information to each other. In fact, the ability to communicate effectively is essential to their survival. This communication can take on a variety of forms such as:
- 9. SLIDESMANIA.COM Pheromones —chemicals Auditory cues —sounds Visual cues Tactile cues —touch common types of signals:
- 11. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM Pheromones A pheromone is a secreted chemical signal used to trigger a response in another individual of the same species
- 12. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM Pheromones � Ants also use pheromones to communicate their social status, or role, in the colony, and ants of different "castes" may respond differently to the same pheromone signal cubed. A squashed ant will also release a burst of pheromones that warns nearby ants of danger—and may incite them to swarm and sting.
- 13. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM Pheromones � Dogs also communicate using pheromones. They sniff each other to collect this chemical information, and many of the chemicals are also released in their urine. By peeing on a bush or post, a dog leaves a mark of its identity that can be read by other passing dogs and may stake its claim to nearby territory.
- 14. SLIDESMANIA.COM Smell, � Smell, such as a male lion scent marking its territory to tell other male lions to stay away Color, such as a Humboldt squid flashing bioluminescent colors to send signals to other squids, or an octopus changing color (and texture!) to indicate irritation or fear. Male Lions Show Us what Scent Marking Looks Like in Thermal!

- 19. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM VISUAL � Visual communication involves signals that can be seen. Examples of these signals include gestures, facial expressions, body postures, and coloration. � Gesture and posture are widely used visual signals. For instance, chimpanzees communicate a threat by raising their arms, slapping the ground, or staring directly at another chimpanzee. Gestures and postures are commonly used in mating rituals and may place other signals—such as bright coloring—on display.

All systems of communication contain signs, units of form with a specific meaning (words). Visual displays,

- 22. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM VISUAL � For instance, in some species of monkeys, the skin around a female’s reproductive organs becomes brightly colored when the female is in the fertile stage of her reproductive cycle. The color change signals that the female can be approached by suitors.
- 23. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM Tactile signals—touch Tactile signals are fairly common in insects. For instance, a honeybee forager that's found a food source will perform an intricate series of motions called a waggle dance to indicate the location of the food. Since this dance is done in darkness inside the nest, the other bees interpret it largely through touch.
- 24. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM Tactile signals—touch Tactile signals also play an important role in social relationships. For instance, in many primate species, members of a group will groom one another—removing parasites and performing other hygiene tasks. This largely tactile behavior reinforces cooperation and social bonds among group.

- 27. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM What is this communication used for? As the examples above illustrate, animals communicate using many different types of signals, and they also use these signals in a wide range of contexts. Here are some of the most common functions of communication
- 28. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM Obtaining mates • . Many animals have elaborate communication behaviors surrounding mating, which may involve attracting a mate or competing with other potential suitors for access to mates.
- 29. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM Establishing dominance or defending territory • . In many species, communication behaviors are important in establishing dominance in a social hierarchy or defending territory.
- 30. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM � • . In social species, communication is key in coordinating the activities of the group, such as food acquisition and defense, and in maintaining group cohesion. Coordinating group behaviors
- 31. SLIDESMANIA.COM SLIDESMANIA.COM � • . Among species that provide parental care to offspring, communication coordinates parent and offspring behaviors to help ensure that the offspring will survive. Caring for young
