Time to Learn can help your child develop a habit of reading and a love of
learning at an early age. The series has answers to almost all of your child's
questions, and the Eltee Pen helps with listening and correct pronunciation.
Can animals talk
to each other?
Animals use sounds to communicate with
each other. What may sound like hoots
and honks to us can make perfect
sense to another animal of the
same species. They can convey
happiness, fear, love, anger and
other emotions.

Special features and benefits
Do animals communicate
only through sounds?
Animals use two kinds of sound to communicate.
Vertebrates use vocal language or sounds like we do.
ar t
These sounds are made in the throat, mouth or some pa
part
dss
of the respiratory system. Some animals produce sounds
py
using different parts of the body. Crickets rub their raspy
wings together to produce sounds, while rattlesnakes
have a modified tail tip that produces a rattling sound to
warn off enemies. Animals also lick and rub against each
other to show their affection.
Whales and dolphins
slap the surface of water
with their tails and jump out
of water to warn each
other of danger or to
attract females.

supplied with Time to Learn.
