The secret language of animals and how we're learning to understand it

from The Colin McEnroe Show · host Connecticut Public Radio

Do you ever wish you could have a conversation with your pet, or the bird outside your window? This hour, we learn about how animals communicate with one another, how we communicate with them, and what this can teach us about human language. Plus, some pet owners are turning to soundboards to communicate with their pets. We'll talk with a researcher who's exploring how effective that is, and what that can teach us about the future of animal and human communications. GUESTS:  Arik Kershenbaum: Professor of Zoology at University of Cambridge, and author of Why Animals Talk: The New Science of Animal Communication Federico Rossano: Associate Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of California San Diego Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
