So we are all told that the fundemental difference between humans and animals is that we humans laugh and animals dont, well thats b*llocks according to (sorry cant remember his name) some scientist guy! He discovered that when he was tickling his lab rats (grr) that when he put a device which picked up v. high frequency sounds next to them that infact they were giggling! fact of the day...

animals communicate on frequencies much higher & lower than what we humans can hear

I was watching one of those "amazing videos" types of shows just this week where they had a video of an elephant that caught it foot in a hanging tire swing toy.

It called out in a sound that was not audible to the human ear & all of the other elephants came running to its rescue. It was amazing to watch... all of these elephants were actually helping & one took the lead, got right in it's face & pretty much shouted in elephant-speak " YOU CAN DO IT... PULL YER FOOT OUTTA THERE!!!" One final tug & it was free.
