Expert Solution
Step 1: Introducing animal communication

Animal communication refers to the transfer of information, signals, or messages between animals of the same species or sometimes between different species.

  •  This communication can occur through vocalizations, body language, chemical signals (pheromones) and tactile interactions.
  • Animals use communication to convey a various range of information, such as mating readiness, warning of danger, establishing dominance, marking territory and coordinating group activities.
  • It plays an important role in their social interactions, survival and reproduction.
