Study: Kangaroos Can Intentionally Communicate with Humans

http://www.sci-news.com/biology/kangaroos-intentionally-communicate-humans-09163.html

“Domestication is generally assumed to have resulted in enhanced communication abilities between non-primate mammals and humans, although the number of species studied is very limited (cats, dogs, wolves, goats, and horses),” said lead author Dr. Alan McElligott from the University of Roehampton and his colleagues.

“In species without hands for pointing, gazing at humans when dealing with inaccessible food during an unsolvable task, and in particular gaze alternations between a human and the unsolvable task, are often interpreted as attempts at referential intentional communication.”

“This type of communication is considered a prerequisite for mind reading because it represents a form of mental planning,” they added.

“Finding those behaviors in other species would suggest that the potential for animal-human communication is far more widespread, given the right conditions.”
