4.Section – A Read the passage carefully and answer the questions by choosing the correct options given below: Animals may not talk but they can certainly communicate. They constantly pass on a wealth of information, both to members of their own species as well as to others. Communicating by touch is very important for some species of animals. It is used to comfort, to establish dominance or to maintain bonds. Female monkeys often cuddle and comfort their young. Sea otters rub their faces together and touch noses to maintain social bonds. Sound is often used as a means of communication. All mammals make sounds, from the squeak of a mouse to the growl of a bear, each sound has a meaning. Dolphins have such a complex range of vocal sounds that scientists wonder if these are actually languages. Humpback whales use complex sounds that can be heard hundreds of kilometres away to tell others where they are. Vibration is yet another method of communication. An elephant doesn’t just use its large ears to hear. It uses its feet too. Elephants’ feet are so sensitive that they can detect the low frequency rumblings in the ground created by other elephants stamping over thirty kilometres away. They are able to detect the distant rumbling of thunder through their feet and find water by heading in its direction. Many mammals have good eyesight, so visual signals are very important. A wolf raises its hackles and stares to show aggression, or lowers its body and flattens its ears to indicate submission. Animals have a keen sense that helps them avoid predators. Research is being conducted to study whether this keen sense of animals also helps them detect impending natural disasters like earthquakes and the tsunami.
