Summary:

A Stellar sea lion pup recognizes its mother's call, even with thousands of other noisy sea lions about. A verve monkey shouts "ha-ha-ha" to warn of an eagle passing overhead. A peacock fans its colorful tail feathers in a silent but impressive display to entice a peahen. Whether it is to attract a mate, warn of predators, or mark their territory, animals share information in some extraordinary ways. Includes activities.
