[QUOTE="AuroraGyps, post: 426195, member: 1166"] [b]Totally interesting subject.[/b] I agree with this. It's like thinking that animals have a language center in the brain that just isn't used the way a "human's" is. Once the animal gains the ability to speak, that center, and others that would be associated with it, would develop over time thus making it a smarter animal than it's regular relatives. I mean, animals have their own "languages" and their being able to speak is just building on what is already there and making them grow. I happen to love the whole idea of animal communication. If something is on about Koko the gorilla, I watch... she is so amazing. And I've seen things on parrots about their talking and learning skills and other animals. As for talking animals not being cute, I read the Indigo series by Louise Cooper and in it is a female wolf that can speak. She was just born that way and because of that difference, she's shunned and turned out of her pack. She was a great character and not cute. [/QUOTE]
