Types of animal communication



One type of animal communication is based on natural signs learned: the smells, sounds, postures or other activities from the repertoire of behavior within a given species (an example would be the "dance of honey" in certain bees, which their movements indicate the direction and distance of food sources.) Other signs of the animal world are products of learning, as when the young animal learns the behavior of their parents or of humans with whom they interact.

Other type of animal communication is through pheromones. Bees produce several types of pheromones, especially queens. Pheromones to break free from the external environment influence the behavior of other animals of their species.

We can also observe communication through sound which is a language in the strict sense. In animals this type of communication leads to barking, roaring, singing of birds, crickets, buzzing etc.
