Animal Sounds and Body Movement Vocabulary
Know the sounds animals make Vocally and Mechanically ( by Movement)
Animals communicate in various ways, and understanding the sounds they make and the movements they perform can give us insight into their behaviors and needs.
In English language, the animal sound or onomatopoeia help in understanding and enhancing pronunciation.
Generally, animals make two types of sounds - vocal and mechanical. Different animals produce different sounds. Even though the majority of animal species can produce sounds, either vocally or mechanically, some do not create any sound.
Moving creatures will constantly make sounds with their bodies, although this is unconscious. Intentionally,the animal frequently makes vocal sounds.
Snails, jellyfish slugs, and worms are some examples of animals that do not produce sound to communicate.
In this lesson, we'll explore common animal sounds and body movements, along with idioms related to these concepts. Let's dive in!
