Animal communication
Survival in the wild depends on getting the message across. Birds sing to mark territory, bees dance to point the way to flowers, and dolphins trade clicks and whistles — even calling each other by name. Some animals talk with body language, others with scent, and a few with electricity. The more we study animal communication, the more we realise how social the wild really is.

Animal intelligence
Some animals are scarily clever. The African grey parrot can use words in context, dolphins solve problems and recognise themselves in mirrors, and even bees can count and read human faces. Recognising how smart animals are makes a strong case for protecting them — and for treating the whole animal kingdom with a little more respect.
Meet the smartest animals →Super senses
Animal senses routinely beat our own. Dogs smell in parts-per-trillion, eagles spot a mouse from the sky, sharks sense the faint electricity of hidden prey, and bats map the dark with echolocation. These superpowers are a reminder of just how much of the natural world we simply can’t perceive.
