Animals use communication to attract mates, warn off predators, defend territory, or trick their prey. And of course, it’s the senses that play the key role - sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing - all are employed to send signals to other in the hope that actions speak louder than words. In this episode of Animal Super Senses, we find out more about the sensory powers used by animals to make messages loud and clear. Species include: Hippo, Baboons, Elephant Seal, Kangaroo, and Koala.
