Researchers map meerkat chit-chat

1. They'll probably find what they found in prairie dogs

and that is a reasonably well developed species language dedicated to identifying potential predators and finding food sources.

Now that they're looking for it, researchers are finding language all over the place.

That latter might be tough on the ego, but I've always wondered what my cats called me.
