How do animalsmunicate?

Animalsmunicate in many different ways. Some animals use their whole bodies. For example, bees dance tomunicate. They send messages about flowers and other places with food. Other bees see the dance and find the food.

Some insectsmunicate with smells. They produce chemicals so that other insects can find them. Wolves and dogs also use smell to get a lot of information about other animals. And cats like to rub their bodies on things like trees to put their smell on them. The smell means, “This tree is mine!”

Many animalsmunicate by touching. For example, chimpanzees say “hello” by touching another chimpanzee's hand. When two horses put their noses together, it means, “We are friends.”

And, of course, many animalsmunicate with sounds. Birds use their beautiful songs tomunicate. Dogs, cats, and people all make different kinds of sounds to send many different messages.
