From the majestic howls of wolves and the enchanting chatter of parrots to the melodic clicks of dolphins and the spirited grunts of chimpanzees, these diverse and seemingly bizarre expressions are far from mere noise. In fact, they hold secrets that we are just beginning to decipher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor example, wolves - just like humans - possess unique accents that distinguish their howls; gibbons have different alarm-calls for leopards and snakes, and sing romantic duets with their partners; and dolphins not only give themselves names but respond excitedly to recordings of the whistles of long-lost companions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter by chapter and animal by animal, Kershenbaum draws on his extensive research and observations of animals in the wild to explain the science behind why animals are communicating. Also revealing profound insights into our own language and why it is different, In doing so, \u003ci\u003eWhy Animals Talks\u003c\/i\u003e tells the comprehensive story of communication and how it works across the entire animal kingdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Quirky, insightful . . . based on a deep understanding of recent research' TIM CLUTTON-BROCK, author of \u003ci\u003eMeerkat Manor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A new look at a fascinating subject' DESMOND MORRIS, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Naked Ape\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntrepid zoologist \u003cb\u003eDr Arik Kershenbaum\u003c\/b\u003e is the world-leading expert in animal vocal communication, and has roamed the wilds of Europe, North America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia for over a decade, working to decipher it.
