What if your dog's bark and your parrot's squawk are part of languages as complex as anything humans speak?

We explore animal communication across species, from the waggle dance honeybees use to share food locations with their hive to the infrasound rumbles elephants send across miles and the sophisticated echolocation clicks dolphins use to navigate and hunt. You'll learn what behavioral scientists have discovered about how animals encode meaning, why some species seem to have dialects, and what we're still getting wrong about the animals we think we understand.

The more we listen, the less certain we become about what counts as language.
