Animal Messages written by Pam Holden

Animals can't talk, but they can send messages to each other. They have ways to let other animals know what they want to tell them. Some sounds send a message. Lions and tigers roar to tell their families about danger.

Elephants have very good ears. They put their trunks up high and make a loud noise called a trumpet. They stamp the ground with their feet to send a message a long way.

Birds sit and sing when they are happy, but they squawk and fly away when they get a fright. Their loud cries send messages to other birds and animals if there is danger. bird

Dogs bark and wag their tails when they feel happy. An unhappy dog puts its tail between its legs, and makes a sound called a whine. Sometimes dogs howl, like wolves and foxes do.

Kangaroos, rabbits, and frogs all have strong back legs. They thump on the ground to send a message when there is danger. Other animals can feel the message through the ground. kangaroos
