Cats are good communicators. They can make 100 kinds of sounds, ten times more than dogs. They are linguists in the animal kingdom. In fact, besides sound, they often convey their feelings by wagging their tails. So, to understand the cat's mood, just look at the posture of its tail swinging:
The tail is slightly bent downward and the tip of the tail is slightly bent upward: this means that the cat is enjoying a leisurely and happy life.
The tail is slightly raised and bent: the cat is interested in what is in front of it.
Tail upright, tail tip bent: This shows that the cat has a strong interest in you, and is very friendly and willing to get close, but still has some reservations.
Tail upright, tail tip vertical: I am willing to get close, without reservation. Adult cats do this just like kittens do when they are near their mothers. The kitten's hint is to let mom check her ass.
The tail is completely drooping, sandwiched between the hind legs: this is a sign of panic, or a submissive cat shows its humble position in the cat group to its companions.
Tail down, hair up: this means it is very scared.
The tail swings strongly from side to side: this signal indicates that the cat is very angry. If the tail keeps swinging from side to side, it means that it is ready to attack at any time.
The tail is still, but the tip of the tail suddenly vibrates: this way of wagging the tail indicates that the cat feels a little annoyed. If the tail tip vibrates badly, it means that people will be arrested.
Tail shaking: a cat that has just been touched by its owner usually has a slight vibration. This body language seems to have a meaning of "personal identity".
Tail to one side: When a female cat is ready to mate with a male cat, her tail will move to one side. When the male cat sees this posture, he knows that he can get close to it without being attacked.
Tail upright, hair vertical: this is a defensive signal that if the threat persists, the cat will attack.
Eyes slightly narrowed, head slowly raised: this is the time to relax and enjoy, indicating trust, comfort and relaxation. This expression usually appears when you meet someone you can trust, a companion, or a facility that you are very familiar with and love, and when you comb your armpits. At this time, the cat doesn't care if the trusted object disturbs its comfort.
Pupillary contraction of the eyes is accompanied by subtle changes in the ears: this is a signal of perceiving a curious object in the line of sight, which usually appears when a cat pays attention to an object, indicating that it has felt or found a new object of concern, but the interest point has not deviated from the original one.
Cat's body language is expressed by its posture. Intuition can usually be used to judge the feelings and needs of cats. The posture of a cat when it is satisfied is the easiest to recognize, because it will completely relax itself and squint its eyes. When the cat relaxes, it stretches its limbs and keeps waving its paws. Cats sometimes trample and purr when they are satisfied. This is because it needs to step on the milk when it is nursing.
Cats can also express their feelings through their ears. Cats prick up their ears when they are alert, hunting outside or hearing interesting sounds. Cats twitch their ears when they are nervous. On the other hand, cats stick their ears completely behind their heads when they are afraid or angry.
Cats sometimes hiss with their teeth, arch their backs and raise their hair to threaten intruders.
A cat's tongue has many functions. It can transmit a lot of information about the surrounding environment to the cat together with its nose. Tongue can also be used to comb a cat's hair.
Audio language
Some people think that cats can only communicate with each other through snoring, meowing and growling. In fact, cats have many ways to communicate. They can communicate through voice, movement, ears, mouth and tail, and they also have rich conversational vocabulary. This is especially true for female cats, because they need to communicate with kittens with various sounds to teach and punish kittens.
Cats purr when they are happy or satisfied. Different cats purr very differently. It's easy to tell a grunt from a harsh roar. This roar is made when resisting an invading cat or dog.
Cats meow mainly to attract the attention of others. If the cat's bark is short and sharp, it means that the cat is looking for its owner in the house. If the meow is persistent and loud, it means that the cat wants to open the door or eat. On the other hand, if cats are locked in a travel basket or stepped on their tails, they will scream angrily.
During estrus, females purr to attract males.
When breastfeeding, the mother cat will make a low purr to people or animals near the kitten. Usually close range is within a flapping range (about 0.8 ~ 1 m), and there is only sound; When the stride distance is less than 0.5m, the head will be lifted or rotated; When the distance between limbs (0.3m) is reached, the teeth will be twisted or scratched with claws until an attack is launched. A kitten looking for its mother will open its mouth and make a quick meow, while a kitten looking for its mother will make a slender meow softly, indicating that it needs to be snuggled up.
When the cat sits on the windowsill and observes the birds outside, it will make a staggering sound between meowing and purring. Audio language
Call three or four times in a row, with a pause: attention, I suspect there is something here.
Bark at medium volume, bark at high speed, bark at medium volume: something has entered our territory. Everybody gather.
Bark continuously, with a slow and deep voice: prepare a series of defensive measures as danger approaches.
Isolated and intermittent dog barking: I am lonely, who will accompany me?
One or two short gentle barks: Hello, nice to meet you.
A loud or gentle, lonely, short, harsh bark: back off, don't do that.
Medium or low volume, an isolated loud and sharp bark: what is this? Wow!
Loud, gentle, low roar: back off! Be careful!
Bark (low): I'm bored. You are welcome!
Roar (high volume): You scared me to death. I will have to take defensive measures.
Ups and downs roar: I'm afraid! If you come at me, I may resist or run away.
Other sound signals
Continuous howling (like leaf-leaf-leaf-oh) I am lonely! I'm here! This is my place! Barking and howling ("Ruff-ruff- oh") Why didn't anyone come with me? I'm worried and lonely! At the end of the sob, the volume rises (it sounds like I want to. I need it. At the end of the whimper, the volume decreases or decreases. Come on now, let's go together! There will be no complaints about repeatedly changing the true and false voices (such as hooooo, I am very excited, let's come together! You did a good job. -Ah-hoo) Sobbing softly. I'm hurt. I'm really scared! A howl. Ouch! A series of howls (usually in response to pain) I was hurt! I'm really scared! I surrender! Scream (sounds like the howl of an injured child) Help! I think I'm dying! General rule: A low voice represents domination and threat, while a high voice represents anxiety and fear. The faster the barking frequency, the more excited and excited it is. The more frequent the roaring sound and frequency, the more disturbing it becomes.
body language
Dogs 1 are carnivores. When feeding, animal protein and fat should be prepared in the feed, supplemented by vegetarian ingredients to ensure the normal development and health of dogs.
Dog's digestive tract is shorter than that of herbivores, and the content of hydrochloric acid in dog's stomach ranks first among domestic animals, and the absorption capacity of intestinal wall thickness is strong, so it is easy to digest meat food and suitable for digestion.
Dogs belong to the wolf clan, and they don't chew very much, which can be described as "wolfing down". If you want to feed coarse fiber vegetables, you'd better chop them up or cook them.
The dog's defecation center is not developed enough to defecate while exercising, so give it a certain defecation time.
Dogs like to bite. This is also the habit of biting prey in the original ecology. Give it some bones from time to time when you feed it, which is good for grinding your teeth.
Dogs have unique self-defense ability. After eating toxic food, they will cause vomiting reaction and spit out toxic food.
In hot summer, the dog's mouth is wide open and its tongue is long, and it relies on the evaporation of water in saliva to dissipate heat.
When dogs live in groups, there is also a "hierarchy" and a master-slave relationship. Establishing such an order can maintain the stability of the group and reduce the struggle caused by the struggle for food and living space.
When a dog is lying down, it always turns around, perhaps because it is comfortable to lie down, perhaps because of some instinct left over.
10 Dogs like to be caressed on their necks and backs. Try not to touch the top of your head, because it will make it feel depressed and dizzy. Besides, you can't touch your ass or tail. "Dogs can't change but eat shit" is the biggest vice of dogs and must be corrected. Dogs not only eat human shit, but also eat shit.
1 1 The dog's code of conduct for strangers is to judge the strength of the opponent according to the height of the line of sight. When a stranger approaches, the oppressive feeling of coming down from above will make him uneasy. If you keep a low profile, he will accept you. If it is lower than the height seen by its eyes, it will make it feel more secure. The dog's weakness is on the right, and it will make actions to protect the right. When it is cornered, it will lean its right side against the wall and its left side will face the enemy. This habit is a dog's innate instinct. The dog shows its belly to others as a sign of obedience and surrender.
12 dog society has certain rules. They will never attack opponents who fall down and show their bellies. When a dog sleeps with its stomach down, it shows that it is very relieved or trusting, so that people can see or touch its stomach. Dogs like people more than their peers, not only because people can take care of them and give them food and shelter. The main reason is that dogs keep company with people and build feelings. Dogs have a strong sense of protection for their owners. Some dogs rescue children from water, burning houses or under cars. A dog will help its dog friend who is in pain or injured.
13 dogs have territorial habits, that is, they occupy a certain range and protect them from other animals. They use anal gland secretion to make feces have a special smell, sweat secreted by sweat glands between toes and pictures of scratching on the ground with hind legs as territorial markers. Dogs are very jealous. When you notice the new dog and neglect to take care of it, it will get angry, disobey its habit and become irritable and destructive. Dogs also have vanity and like to be praised. When it does a good thing, or does some tricks, you clap your hands to praise it and touch it, and it will be as satisfied as a full meal. Dogs are also shy. If they do something wrong, or if their hair is cut too short, they will hide somewhere and wait for hunger.
14 in terms of memory, dogs never seem to forget the voices of people they have been close to, and they can also remember the places where they have lived. However, some people think that dogs rely on sensory sensitivity to recognize the voices of acquaintances and know the location. Dogs like to smell anything. Smell territorial marks, new dogs, food, poison, feces, urine and so on. When the dog is wandering outside, we often see it constantly urinating or squatting down and scattering feces on the road. And it walks by these "smelly marks". Dogs like to chase animals. Like hunting small animals. Chase rabbits, cats, sheep, etc. Even chasing humans, people use this characteristic of dogs to drive away cattle and sheep and protect themselves.
15 When dogs are sick, they instinctively avoid humans or other dogs and hide in the dark to recuperate or die. This is an "atavism". The ancestors of dogs lived in groups. If any dog in the group is sick or injured, other dogs will kill it to avoid all the trouble or pain after falling behind. This should attract the attention of dog owners or breeders and should be treated by veterinarians in time. Dogs like alcohol the least. When giving injections to dogs in the veterinary hospital, behave yourself first, and then rub alcohol. Once the dog smells alcohol, its hair immediately stands up and growls. Dogs are afraid of fire, so they don't like anything that smokes, such as lighting matches and smoking. Dog tail, the movement of dog tail is also a kind of "language".
16 The dog wags its tail to welcome you.
17 dogs are emotional animals and dependent. Its senses are many times stronger than human beings, but it has an incredible feeling for people. It will make eyes, speak with eyes, and then it will have its own way of thinking. It is a loyal pet companion of human beings, so I hope everyone will stop eating dog meat. body language
Horse body language is not very complicated, which is described here in turn as follows:
Nose: Nose opening indicates excitement and fear; Sniffing indicates impatience, anxiety and dissatisfaction. Mouth: the upper lip is upturned, indicating extreme excitement; An empty tongue indicates humility and obedience.
Eyes: eyes are wide and round, indicating anger; Showing white eyes means nervousness and fear, and closing eyes means burnout.
Ears: Two ears stand forward together to show vigilance; After the ears are together, sip backwards and close to the neck, indicating that you are going to have an attack; The ears turn back and forth, indicating that everything is normal.
Neck: The neck is arched inward and the muscles are taut, indicating strength or demonstration. Swing your neck up and down to show helplessness.
Limbs: the forelimbs are held high, and stepping on things or landing in turn indicates anxiety. Lift your hind legs and kick your stomach. If it is not to drive away mosquitoes, it means that the horse has abdominal pain.
Tail: Holding the tail high indicates high spirit and energy; Tail clamping indicates cowering, fear or weakness. There are no mosquito bites, but they often wag their tails to express their dissatisfaction.
In addition, rolling once or twice is to relax the body, and repeated rolling will inevitably lead to abdominal pain. Jumping, kicking and standing upright indicate high spirits. The horse's neigh is long and short, urgent and slow, indicating calling friends, indicating danger, craving for food, mood and so on.
Page (abbreviation of page) S 1. How to approach the horse:
The horse's body structure determines that the horse's limbs swing back and forth with large amplitude and high speed, but swing to both sides with small amplitude and relatively slow speed. Almost people all over the world are used to getting on and off the saddle from the left side (inside) of the horse. Therefore, the standard and safe way to approach a horse is to face the left side of the horse's head, approach the horse's neck at a 45-degree angle, and stand parallel to its left shoulder. There, saddle the horse, get on and off the bus, the horse's hind legs and front legs can't hurt people, and it's hard to bite people. The only thing to pay attention to is not to be trampled by the horse's left front hoof.
When approaching the horse from the right side (outside) or behind the horse's ass, be sure to move slowly and make a soft cry in your mouth (remind the horse that you are its friend, not a lion that jumped on you quietly! ) Observe the horse's reaction and be alert if there is any abnormality. In short, people are safe if they can abide by the rules and form habits.
Page (short for page) S2 How to introduce yourself to the horse:
Don't think that horses can't understand people. Scientific research proves that dogs, horses, cats and other animals. Although we can't understand the specific meaning of human language, we can accurately judge what is positive and what is negative, thus determining our attitude towards people.
The way to respect a horse as a friend is to approach the horse in a safe direction with a calm attitude, stop where your hand can touch the horse's head, neck and shoulders, and slowly reach out and approach the horse's nostrils. If you know the name of a horse, call it gently. If you don't know each other, you can send a friendly voice to say hello. At this time, the horse will sniff out your smell and tell who is coming. While the horse is wondering whether you are dangerous to it, you must pay attention to the changes of the horse's eyes and ears, and guess the horse's psychological mood. If the horse's ears turn at will and his eyes are serene, you can gently touch the horse's cheek. If the horse still has no unpleasant reaction, it means that it has accepted your friend, and you can ask it to scratch again. As long as you see a horse unhappy or angry, you should retreat in time to prevent risks. Of course, just because the horse didn't accept you for the first time doesn't mean it will never accept you again. There are specific contents, because fish are lower animals, and the life content is monotonous, so it is not necessary and impossible to have rich languages. However, under different conditions, many fish can indeed make different sounds to convey their information. For example, when a squid is caught on a boat, it will roar and show a threatening gesture; If you put it in an aquarium and gently touch it with your hand, it will hum happily; If you stir it hard, it will scream like a pig and wriggle away. Before the large yellow croaker lays eggs, it will squeak the opposite sex companions to gather; Whispering "whoops" and "grunts" when laying eggs; After laying eggs, they giggle and sing like hens laid eggs, so loudly that fishermen often can't sleep at night. According to records, the exit of a bay was blocked by many aluminum poles hanging from cables. There are five dolphins in the bay, and one of them swims near the aluminum pole, makes a detailed reconnaissance with its "echo locator" and then reports back. Dolphins began to make harsh squeaks and sent people to check the situation from time to time during the discussion. After about half an hour of "research", I finally made sure that the aluminum pole fence was not dangerous, and then swam out one by one. Someone recorded the voice of the little dolphin and played it to the mother dolphin. Mother dolphin immediately looked around anxiously for her baby. It can be seen that both marine fish and mammals generally use "language" as a means of life activities. Their "language" contents are as follows: eating, communicating, looking for the opposite sex, summoning partners and offspring, danger warning and intimidation. At present, the research in this field is not enough, and the research on fish linguistics and underwater acoustic communication system has just begun, and there is still a lot of work to be done in the future.
Although fish have no vocal cords, they can speak in various ways. Some fish use the swim bladder to make sound, and the gas passes through the swim bladder tube, causing vibration and sound; The vibration of the spine can be transmitted through the muscles connected with the swim bladder, causing the * * * vibration of the swim bladder. Scientists have found that bees transmit information through the dance of scouts.
Bees are social insects. Most of them live in wooden boxes, and some live in holes in walls and trees. Every spring, some reconnaissance bees fly out of the box to find honey sources. When it finds the honey source, it will suck a little pollen and fly back soon. If the returning bees fly first, then turn to one direction and fly again, like dancing in a circle; Then, this is the report: "There is food within 50 meters of the nest." If the reconnaissance bee flies one and a half laps first, then flies straight back and flies half a lap in the opposite direction, the shape is a bit like a horizontal "8". When flying in a straight line, the belly keeps swinging, like dancing a swing dance. If this swing dance is very slow, it dances eight "8" characters per minute, and its tail wags a lot. It is reported that "nectar is 6 kilometers away from the nest."
The dance movements of bees can not only report the distance between nectar and nest, but also indicate the direction of nectar. If the bees dance with their heads up, it means, "fly in the direction of the sun and you will find pollen." Instead, this is a report: "You can find food where your back is to the sun."
When the worker bees in the hive learned the good news brought by the reconnaissance bees, they flew in the indicated direction. As a result, more and more bees flocked to the honey source and carried out a lot of collection work.
Recently, scientists found that the dance language of bees not only has the above functions, but also, when two groups of bees want to separate, the old queen bee will send reconnaissance bees to find suitable new homes respectively. When they find a good place to nest, they will fly back soon, not only reporting their position with dance movements, but also describing whether they are ideal through dance. If the new house is ideal, the reconnaissance bees can jump for hours on end, jumping enthusiastically. If the new house is not ideal, it will be listless and will soon end. A new study found that whales have such a wide range of voice commands that they can call their young, find possible spouses and even express their feelings with body language. Maybe this is not the language we know, but whales have many ways to make them understand each other. According to the researchers, they have identified the social sounds of 622 species of humpback whales. The results of this study will be presented at the upcoming conference jointly organized by American Audiology Association (ASA) and Japan Audiology Association.
The social sound of whales is short and shapeless, which can be clearly distinguished from the long and complicated whale sound. The new study adds that more and more evidence of whale gesture language shows that whales use more vocalizations to convey their meaning than previously thought.
Rebecca Dunlop, a researcher at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Queensland, Australia, who participated in the study, said: "I can't speak the unique language of whales, because whales don't arrange sounds in strings regularly like we do, just like making words into sentences. It's more like a simple word. "
Scientists intuitively tracked the migration of 60 whales along the east coast of Australia. They use silent hydrophone arrays-sensing devices to detect sound waves, and then relate whale sounds to different activities and backgrounds. As a result, they identified 622 different sounds of whales, belonging to 35 basic species. These sounds include "Wops" made by females, "Zwops" made by males, "Yaps" made by whales when they are separated, and high cries expressing special anger.
In addition to vocalization, researchers also found that whales communicate information through body language. For example, jump out of the water, beat the sea with your tail, and blow bubbles underwater. Whales are famous for their long and complicated songs, but whales sometimes sing individual short songs. When the male whale wants to woo the female whale, it especially likes to sing this short song. Dunlop speculated that singing is a loud signal, and two singers singing at the same time will definitely confuse their recipients. If the male whale wants to attract the female whale, he doesn't want to confuse his signal with that of other singers in the same sea area, so in this case, he uses sound units to express his love.
Christopher Clark, director of the Bioacoustics Research Program at Colnel University, has also conducted similar research on right whales. He pointed out that, ironically, while researchers have a better understanding of whale vocalization, human beings make such a loud noise, which hinders whales from communicating through shipping, oil and gas exploration, maritime entertainment and transportation.
He said: "Many whales have very traditional feeding grounds, and their migration routes also appear on the shallow coastline. Now the noise in this area is so loud that it seriously affects the normal habitat of whales. In this environment, compared with a century ago, the number of whales that can communicate, see and hear today has dropped significantly. " The songs of birds are as diverse as the kinds of birds, even more than the kinds of birds. The same bird living in different areas will have different songs and chirps, just like we humans have our own dialects. However, the singing patterns of birds are very fixed, and females can accurately identify males of the same kind through these songs. In most species, males are extremely sensitive to the songs of their own kind. Scientists did an experiment with orange-crested thrush. They observed four orange-crested thrushes in a forest and marked them as A, 1, 2, 3 according to their positions. After fierce competition, four birds occupied a small forest respectively. After the division of territory, it is followed by singing day after day to defend the occupied area and attract passing females. Scientists recorded the song of another male orange-capped thrush (B) a few kilometers away, and then played it not far from A. A kitchen thrush immediately recognized the bird's voice as a stranger and began to fly around his field to investigate. Playing the sound of B- oven thrush on the edge of 1, 2, 3 will have a similar reaction. It is worth noting that when A investigates everywhere, its neighbors will quickly erode A's territory, but A will fight back immediately after the investigation. Therefore, scientists speculate that male chimpanzees play the role of guarding the field by singing, avoiding unnecessary fights, thus saving energy for mice. By listening to the loudness of the opponent's horn, we can judge whether it has been invaded and decide whether to take action.
So, how does a bird know the call of another bird and make a judgment? Scientists have been exploring this problem for a long time. At first, each scientist recorded three nighthawks with high-precision recording equipment. These cries sound like "whips-poor will" in human ears. Scientists recorded the cries with a tape recorder. When they played them slowly, they found that the three nighthawks actually had five syllables and were called together in a unique and coherent way, which made people sound only three syllables. The question arises. Is it three syllables or five syllables to hear three nighthawks? The scientists were stumped for a moment. Hard work pays off, and several scientists have found an indirect proof method after hard thinking. They asked a robin with strong imitation ability to imitate three nighthawks, and then recorded it and played it slowly. Miracle appeared, and the three nighthawks imitated by the little robin were also five syllables. From this, scientists preliminarily concluded that three nighthawks are probably five syllables. In fact, all we hear is their urgent cries. At present, scientists have analyzed the songs of many songbirds, such as recording the songs of wrens and playing them slowly.
An emu can sing 103 syllables in 814 seconds. The same experiment was done with a sparrow, and it was found that it could sing 12 syllables in 2.5 seconds. These syllables can be repeated. For example, the 12 syllable of a bird with a pale head sounds like "chip". Chip. Chip Cherry Cherry Henry Tisch. Jojo! It only takes 2% seconds to sing these syllables, 12 hour can be repeated 3300 times, and it will be repeated1100,000 times in a breeding season! Besides their own specific songs, some birds like to imitate the songs of other birds. Scientists call this phenomenon Komatsu. The robin may be the best expert in singing in nature, and the British even call it mockingbird, which means imitating birds. It is good at adding the songs of other birds to its own songs, and can achieve the point of confusing the real with the fake. Starlings are also experts in singing. Sometimes they can imitate robins. Even more incredible, one myna learned the whistle of the German V- 1 rocket in World War II, while the other myna learned the whistle of the football referee. Storks are also a kind of starling. It can even imitate human language and sing the Beijing opera "Sister Su Sanjie". Parrots have learned to talk more since ancient times. In A Dream of Red Mansions, it has been described that parrots learn from Daiyu's "mourning poems". Why do these birds like singing? There is still no reasonable explanation. However, people think that singing is at least the simplest and most powerful way these birds can take to enrich their songs. So, why do birds try their best to complicate their songs? This is still difficult for us to understand.
Besides songs, birds have other songs; For example, the "Ji, Ji" sound made by chickens has the function of begging. In addition to this song, these birds will send out nine other different songs, one is to call their companions in flight, one is to say hello or chat with other birds, one is to sing in groups, one is to express injury, three is to mate and two is to call the police.
Of course, these songs are much simpler than songs and will change according to the external environment, and there is no very fixed tone format. The difference between singing and other songs is that singing usually only appears in the breeding season, while other songs can be issued at any time; Singing plays an important role in reproductive activities, while other songs play the role of gathering, foraging, migrating, feeding young birds and defending against enemies. Most importantly, except for the song, most other songs are hereditary. A group of ornithologists at Cambridge University in England once isolated some birds from birth. A year later, isolated finches can only make some simple calls, while wild individuals of the same age can make complex calls. This shows the importance of learning to sing. The song development of most birds is very complicated, and some birds may begin to remember their parents' songs before they are born. In India, some storks have been kept in captivity for several generations. From embryonic development to growth, the call of wild storks can hardly be heard. Therefore, these storks can only speak "human language". This shows that birds sing by heredity and learning.
Birds are the only vertebrates with specific vocal organs except mammals. However, the vocal organs of mammals are in the throat, while those of birds are at the junction of trachea and bronchus, which scientists call sonotrode. Vocal duct is a specialized structure, the inner and outer walls of trachea are thinned to form vocal membrane, and there are vocal cords at the bifurcation of two bronchi, on which there is a semilunar membrane. When the airflow passes through the sounding pipe, the sounding membrane and the half-moon membrane vibrate to sound. A vocal cord muscle is attached to the side of the vocal cord. The vocal muscles can adjust the tone and volume of singing. Birds can sing when they exhale and inhale, while mammals can only sing when they exhale. 1. cooing: It is usually to express dissatisfaction with the owner's behavior or similar people, indicating that the rabbit is angry. For example, rabbits don't like being held and touched, so they growl. If the owner doesn't understand its meaning and "goes his own way", there is a great possibility of being bitten.
Jet sound: jet sound indicates that something or some behavior threatens the rabbit. If your movements make the rabbit make a jet, if you don't stop, you may be bitten.
3. Scream: Rabbits scream for the same reason as people, usually because of fear or pain. If you suddenly hear a rabbit scream, the owner should pay attention at once. Your rabbit may be hurt.
4. Grinding sound: There are two kinds of grinding sound. Grinding your teeth loudly means that the rabbit feels pain. Better take the rabbit to the doctor. Grinding your teeth gently means that the rabbit is satisfied and happy. When the rabbit gently grinds its teeth, if you reach out and touch the rabbit's chin, you can feel the grinding sound. At this time, the rabbit's eyes are usually half open and half closed.
⒌ gnashing sound: The gnashing sound is also a sign of rabbit's pain. At this time, rabbits usually bend over and sit with their ears pressed back.
Whoosh: Like cats, rabbits purr when they are satisfied. The difference is that cats make sounds with their throats and rabbits make sounds with their teeth.
⒎ hiss: Rabbits usually hiss at the same kind, which represents a counterattack warning, telling the other rabbit not to approach, or it will attack.
⒏ Call in estrus: Unlike cooing, the call made by rabbits in estrus is low, heavy and regular. Generally, male rabbits make such a sound when chasing female rabbits. Sterilization can avoid this estrus behavior.
