Mega Strange Ep. #81 - Talking Animals

Can animals be trained to speak English? And if so, what do they want to talk about? Well today we look at all the research that has been done on a few very special animals that have indeed broken the communication barrier! We look at the Amazing case of Alex the Parrot, the only non human animal to ask existential questions. We also cover the world famous Talking Elephant Batyr, and the inspiration for the film Congo; Koko the sign language Gorilla. Back your bags and get your language book ready, because we are TALKING TO ANIMALS!
