Behaviour & Communication (Deep Dive)
📋 What it is
Many animals are highly social and intelligent — using complex communication, tools, and even culture.
🗣️ Coach says
Animal behaviour gets remarkably sophisticated. Elephants mourn their dead and communicate over kilometres with low rumbles; crows use tools; dolphins have signature "names". Studying this reveals intelligence and social bonds far richer than once believed — and shapes how we care for animals humanely.
🧠 Memory hook
Many animals are social + intelligent: tool use, "names", long-distance calls, even culture. Care humanely.

Why did the horse go to the hospital?
To get stable condition!
😲 Whoa!
Dolphins give each other unique whistle "names" and will call out to a specific friend — one of the clearest signs of animal identity and social bonds.
