Could our age-old dream of being able to communicate with animals finally be within our grasp? Scientists are rapidly making our dreams a reality. They are endeavouring "to communicate with animals-using spoken language". As we follow their research, we learn how dogs read their masters' moods on their faces. How a large monkey addresses a human using sign language, and how dolphins share mental images with each other. We also hear a crafty parrot being deliberately misleading during a human animal communication experiment. The future brings the promise of intelligent software capable of simultaneous translation between humans and animals. The aim is to better understand the animal kingdom and change our perspective on it, thus helping to create a world in which there is greater mutual respect.
