The human world and the animal kingdom have a lot of differences. However, there are also some common things we both share. Both animals and humans need to eat and sleep, among other things. And as humans, we find that we share certain personality traits with animals as well, and it’s those traits that tend to make us feel much closer to those animals we welcome into our home. The bond humans can share with their pets is deep and powerful. There are many cases in which people say they feel closer to their pets than to a lot of their family members. We all probably know a few cat and dog owners who share those sentiments. However, our humanization of animals isn’t a bad thing, unless you’re attempting to snuggle with an alligator or dangle a piece of string in front of a hungry lion.
We will even sometimes make up voices so we can pretend our animals are talking back. Not that I do that or anything…I’ve just heard of folks who do. But, this humanization process is what helps us better empathize with animals. This is why our hearts go out when we hear of animal suffering, and it’s why people form animal rescue organizations as well as promote animal welfare and conservation. That said, we also love to hear animals speaking in their own unique languages. Some of these languages are vocal others are through movements and actions. The animal kingdom has a wide array of ways for animals to get their points across to one another, and we’ve found a BBC video called “Funny Talking Animals” in which we get to see how these cute critters chat with one another.

These critters certainly have some fun ways of communicating, especially the giraffes. They just let their necks do all the talking!
