HOW DO ANIMALS COMMUNICATE?
Animals communicate in many different ways. Some animals use their whole bodies.
For example, bees dance to communicate; they send messages about flowers and other places
With food. Other bees see the dance and find the food.
Some insects communicate with smells, they make chemicals so that other insects can find them.

their bodies on things like trees to put their smell on them, and the smell means, “This tree is
mine!”
Many animals communicate by touching. For example, chimpanzees say “hello” by touching
another chimpanzee´s hand, and when two horses put their noses together, it means, “We are
friends”.
And of course, many animals communicate with sounds. Birds use their beautiful songs to
communicate. Dogs, cats, and people all make many different kinds of sounds, with many different
