Time to express-1

Animals express themselves by sounds, gestures, facial expressions and other body language. Let's talk about how animal express themselves to their own members as well to humans in case of some animals.

Pets like dogs and cats are known to humans and they do have their own sets of amazing body languages for expressing. It is often told that when dogs wag their tails they say hello or greet. But, don't get fooled by all types of wagging as greets. When it wags to the left it is scared or frightened, slow tail wagging expressing insecurity and rapid ones express aggression. Only when it wags to the right, it is really greeting. When it lies on its back, with paws bent and raised, it says 'You' re my love bug'. Even, when they sneeze they let known other dogs that they are aren't being aggressive but playful.

Cats are no less in body languages They make 100 different sounds while dogs can make only 10. When these felines make a meowing sound they aren't communicating with other cats, but with humans as mewing refers to humans or something to humans in their language. As they are capable of meowing, they are also known to imitate the sound of crying babies if they know that their owners have babies to know that they too are hungry.Also, when these felines are pets they rub their heads on their owners so that to convey their trust.

Apart from dogs and cats, even other animals have been known to express themselves by their own means. Rubbing and holding body parts are two most important expressing methods. Elephants are known to hold each other's trunk not only to greet but also to console other individuals. Polar bears rub each others noses so as to get what they want. In a pride, lions rub each others heads for greeting etc.

This type of behavior holds true for chameleons where they change their colors not only for camouflage but also for indicating moods, temperature changes etc. Brighter colors signify aggression whereas dull or pale colors signify submission.
