Appliance of Science: Can animals communicate with each other?

This week’s question is: Can animals talk to each other and if so, what kind of language do they use?

Animals communicate with each other in many different ways; they use body language, sound, smell, touch and even chemical and electrical communication. In fact, animals are far superior to humans in many of their communication methods.

We consider language an advanced form of communication that sets us humans apart from other animals; but is that really so? Can animals talk to each other and if so, what are they saying?
