Wild Science: Communicating With Animals
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
This film reports on two successful experiments that prove that animals can learn "language" and that interspecies communication is possible. Morgan, a 1,200 pound pilot whale, helps the Navy locate submarines and guides underwater search-and-retrieve teams. Lana, a three-year-old chimpanzee, constructs sentences on a computer to make requests for a glass of water or a TV show. What these experiments suggest about the subtleties of the animal mind and clues to the nature of human language are also explored.
