In this engaging episode of Wildly Curious (formerly For the Love of Nature), co-hosts Katy Reiss and Laura Fawks Lapole dive into the fascinating world of animal communication. They explore the science behind how different species—from primates to parrots—communicate with humans and each other. Along the way, you'll learn about famous animals like Koko the gorilla and Alex the African grey parrot, who blew our minds with their language skills. Prepare to have your perspective shifted on what it means to "talk" to animals, as Katy and Laura ask: Should we broaden our definition of language to include the animal kingdom?
Perfect for animal lovers, science enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the untapped potential of cross-species communication. Tune in for a fun and insightful look at the way animals interact with the world around them.
