What Language do Animals Speak

What Language do Animals Speak Do animals use language? Its clear to anyone who has had a pet that animals communicate. My dog and cat are both great at telling me when they need to go outside, when theyre hungry, and when theyre angry. My cat is especially great at telling me shes angry. She usually does it by running between my legs while Im going down the stairs. Basically shes trying to break my neck to show me that Im failing her.Anyway, after watching the TED-Ed video that we selected this week, I found that it is interesting to  ask  whether animals have language, and what the difference is between language and communication.Before watching the video below, what do you think is the difference between having a language and being able to communicate? Do you think there are any  animals that have language?Watch the video below, then see if you can answer the questions. Answer the questions in comments and well respond.
