Let’s learn about communication in the animal kingdom.
What is your favorite animal? How do they communicate with each other or with humans? What are some features they use to communicate?
Animals use different types of communication.
- Auditory Communication: Using sound to send a message
- Visual Communication: Using colors, dances, or some type of display to send a message
- Olfactory Communication: Using smells, or odors, to send a message
