About this episode

Why can’t animals talk to us? Are humans the only animals that can talk? Can different species of animals communicate with each other?

He studies wolves, gibbons, dolphins and hyrax to learn how they communicate. Also in this episode: why are parrots able to speak human words but other birds can’t?
