    Animals communicate in many different ways, including through scent, light, electricity, color, touch, posture, gesture, and facial expressions. Bees communicate through intricate dances that reveal the location and quality of food sources. Their dances can be round, sickle-shaped, or involve tail wagging to indicate distances of 20-60 feet or over 60 feet from the hive. Animal communication serves functions like finding food, giving alarms or warnings, marking territories, reproduction, grouping behaviors, and expressing emotional states.
