How do you greet your friends Do you always greet them in the same way People from different cultures may have different answers: shaking hands, nodding, kissing ... But have you ever wondered how animals “say hello” to others
We know how similar chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are to humans. It’s no surprise that their greetings are also close to ours. Chimpanzees usually greet each other with a hand touch, a hug or sometimes a kiss.
Giraffes seldom make loud sounds. Male (雄性) giraffes often use their necks to greet each other. When two giraffes meet, they may “shake” their necks and touch each other. This is to feel how strong and tall the other is.
Dolphins greet one another with whistles (哨声). They can hear other dolphins from many kilometers away. Every dolphin has a different whistle. It tells information about the dolphin, such as its age and health. When two groups of dolphins meet, they each choose a member of the other group to “talk” to. The two groups can then join up and travel together.
Animals have such interesting ways to greet each other. Next time you see animals, take a closer look—maybe you’ll find out how they “say hello”!
