When the parrot Speaking in English, and we can easily understand what our cats want, we naturally want to respond to a dialogue with them. Most wild animals have communication with each other, but breaking the language code is not easy. The question of whether animals have the same human language and our means of communication?
And I learned the animals communication when I was studying Biological. For centuries, beekeepers have been surprised by the worker bees in the hive on the performance of the dance. Scientists believe that bees are using a sign language, told the companions where to find food. If a bee was found near the food, it will return to the hive, jump fast rotating dance.
According to general theory, the bee dance instead of words that expresses the distance and direction. However, this really true? Modern textbooks still support this theory, but now, scientists made a bee's dance amazing new ideas.
University of California, Santa Barbara was searching this . At first he believed that bees use the sign language. Dr. Werner will not deny that honeybee dance, but his performance experiments on bees made a new explanation. He believed that this dance with the smell of the transfer, rather than through an abstract language to communicate. Will be a no-odor, but the sweet liquid on the hive near the little bees flying over. Use the same liquid, but this time with a cotton swab soaked in clove oil for the bees came smelling. The first smell of the bees with a little clove returned to nest, and after a few minutes, the other bees fly to the plate. Half an hour later, a plate is full of bees.
Werner said: "The careful observation of these bees, you will find that they are paying attention to the dance partner, body sideways towards it; This shows that the bees in the swing may the odor molecules scattered in the companions of the antennae." Now the scientific community is gradually accepted the opinion of Dr. Wiener, the bee dance, perhaps is not a language. Werner said: "The scientists put forward a kind of Occam's principle to simplify the topic: If there is a certain behavior are two possible explanations, we should choose the simplest explanation. Bee brain is only so much grass, not to think about. "
It's interesting to find the mysterious thing about the animals communication. and we will know it someday.
