      Hi!

      I think that some animals can talk to each other (kind of), they just can’t talk to us. Humans are lucky to have vocal chords which give us wide range of sounds and allow us to say lots of different words in lots of different languages. And we have smart brains to turn the sounds into words.

      Animals can squawk and bark, which gives them a way to share information and express their emotions. At the end of the day, these are the only reasons why humans talk to each other.
