ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Animal language

Animals have their own languages - like humans, they communicate with each other, but without using words! Animals use things like body language and sounds to talk to each other. For example, when a cat meows, it’s usually asking for food or attention. Dogs bark to warn of danger or to show excitement. Some birds use songs and dance to attract mates. Even insects make noises to communicate with each other. By understanding these languages, we can learn more about how animals interact and live.
