What methods do these animals use to communicate? Ants elephants dogs frogs Cats whales mice insects My dog is in the garden. He is wagging his tail, his mouth is open and he is looking at me. What is he trying to tell me? Jane Roberts reports. People have always been interested in animal communication and scientists have done a lot of research on this subject. Most animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. When a dog walks outside, it learns about other dogs by smelling things. Dogs have helped police for a long time, too. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. Mice have an excellent sense of smell, too. Scientists have even trained them to find landmines. Scientists have discovered that even ants use smell. They use smell to tell other ants where the food is. Everyone has heard birds singing. Research has shown that many other animals use sound to communicate. Frogs and inserts communicate with sounds. Usually the “gentlemen” make sounds to invite the “ladies”. Whales and elephants also use sound to communicate. These sounds can travel very far through water or the ground. However, it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds. They are either too low or too high for us. Animals have always used body language to communicate as well. When a cat puts its ears back, it is a bit mad. When it was sits with its tail around itself, it is happy. When a dog puts its tail under its body, it is scared. When it wages its tail and opens its mouth, it is happy. So I think my dog is happy right now. 1.Read the text
