They also communicate
We tend to think that we have a monopoly on communication, but little by little scientists are beginning to discover the more subtle and hidden aspects of communication in the animal kingdom.
Although it is well studied and documented in some animals, the mechanisms by which some species communicate remain a great mystery to science. How have some animals evolved to transmit information over long distances? How do animals use their bodies to communicate? And how can some communicate silently?
"Experts say that we will be able to talk with animals, that in less than ten years, at least with dogs we will be able to communicate," explained Joana Branco.
What is the most surprising communication between animals?
The change of color of the chameleons, for them has a lot of meaning. They have cells that we are not able to see, but that shine, and through them they communicate.
Along with Joana Branco's presentation in Homo curiosus, attendees have been able to enjoy the documentary 'The secrets of animal language'.
