Auditory, visual, tactile and chemical stimuli play a major role in animal communication.
How do animals communicate with each other
Animals have several ways of communicating with each other.
The simplest and most understandable are communication through sight, smell and hearing.
Animals make sounds, which in most cases indicate a call, increased attention or danger.
The basic set of sounds in animals is different.
Animals receive communication signals and other information about the outside world through the physical senses of sight, hearing and touch, and the chemical senses of smell and taste.
Relatively few animals, mainly primates, convey information using a combination of different signals - gestures, body movements and sounds, which expands the capabilities of their “vocabulary”.
The higher the position of an animal in the evolutionary hierarchy, the more complex its sense organs and the more perfect its biocommunication apparatus.
Animal vocal signals can be very diverse and reflect not only aggression or play.
Thus, pet owners can recognize the emotions of their pet in meowing and whining, and orangutans are able to tell their fellow tribesmen about the events that have occurred.
