Did you know that caterpillars can scream, meerkats have several calls for different degrees of danger, and ground squirrels use various frequencies? The French documentary discusses bioacoustics and reveals the modes of animal communication. Have you ever wondered what animals talk about? Whether it aims to warn, scare off, or seduce, communication is the safest and fastest way to interact in the animal kingdom, as in the human world. In Listening to Nature, experts set up their bioacoustics laboratory in the open air and take us to Namibia, France, South Africa, and Canada, where they expose the animal world in a new, yet unique, entertaining and fascinating way through sound experiments.

English The fact that animals communicate with each other and pass on all sorts of information is not new, but this documentary (or episode) offers some extremely interesting insights that definitely increased my understanding of how different animals communicate with each other – whether it was elephant communication through feet, deer maternal instinct or the ultrasonic cries of gophers.
