Why do animals of different species communicate with one another?

  • A.Because they like to set up their own communication systems.
  • B.Because they want to take advantage of the other species.
  • C.Because they tend to keep more food to themselves.
  • D.Because they benefit from using the information from other species.

The whales stranded on the beach followed the dolphin to safety probably because

  • A.they understood the dolphin?s instruction “Follow me”
  • B.they had signals in common with one another
  • C.they recognized some other animals not far away
  • D.they shared those inter-species signals with the dolphin

Before Moko the dolphin turned up,the beached whales were in clear distress.But when Moko arrived at Mahia beach on the east coast of New Zealand?S North Island,their mood changed and they followed him to safety. The ability of some animals to communicate is well known. What?s less well documented,however,is the communication between species.Justin Gregg, vice president of the Dolphin Communication Project,said it is possible that a dolphin and a whale could communicate in some way.“But it wouldn?t be instructions like ?Hey,buddy,the open ocean is over here.Follow me, ?"he says. Dolphins use three forms of signaling to other dolphins—whistles,clicking and postures.A whale might have signals in common with a dolphin,just as different species of dolphins are known to share signals which might theoretically allow a form of basic inter species communication.But just as it?s possible that Moko the dolphin and the stranded whales shared a signal,it is also possible that the whales just saw a vaguely similar creature and followed it. There are many reasons why different species communicate,says Vincent Janik,lecturer at the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrew?s University.“The animals exploit the systems of others for their own benefits.Sometimes the benefits are the same for each,therefore they share information.Sometimes they are trying to take advantage of the other.Getting food may not be to the advantage of the one giving up the food” What happened after Moko the dolphin appeared at Mahia beach?

  • A.The beached whales still felt distressful
  • B.Moko 1ed the whales back to the sea
  • C.The whales were still stuck on the beach
  • D.Moko and the whales swam together ashore

Scientists engaged in animal studies have collected

  • A.enough data on how animals speak human languages
  • B.none of the data on animals? ability to communicate
  • C.1ess data on how animals communicate between species
  • D.some data on animals? tendency to talk to humans

The research shows that nearly 130 species of birds arevulnerableto the predicted effects of climate change

  • A.easily attacked by
  • B.skillfully adapted to
  • C.comfortably inclined to
