Tin-t it "Talks" to mm and Understands
Much That He Inye—lutellilent Dm.
That animals have a means oi. mmiuuit
nicetion among themselves through our
tain vocal sounds is e Well estnhlluhed
iect; that these vocul sounds are of sum
clent range to express other than more
physical ideas and thus to assume the lm
portunce oi a language is probable. ni
though as yet ullpt'uvmi.
For the last three years i have had in
tune ion squirrel oi which I have mode it
grestpot. l’olly has occupied u edge in
the luboritory where she bus been for the
most part shut off from the sights um!
sounds oi the outside world. Although All
times the laboratory has had othor trail
nuts in the shape of squirrels. rabbits um!
guinea pigs. she has formed no pnrth-u-
lar attachment ior any oi them. but when
I am about she is usually close to me,
either on my shoulder or following me
shout like a dog.
Unconsciously at first and inter with a
definite purpose 1 have talked toher much
as one would talk to at young child. About
a year ago she began to reply to my con-
versation. At iirst it was only in remrumse
to my questions as to food, etc, but inter
her “talk” hos (resumed lurm-r propor-
tion, until now she will, of lli'l' own no-
oord, assume the initiative.
‘ Her vocabulary appears to imquiiet‘X~
tensive. and while for the "lost port it. per-
tains to matters of food and iwrmnnl mul-
fort there are times when it seems as
though she were trying to tell me of other
things.
When 1 first go out where she is in the
morning, she imnu-dintely risks for food,
and until that wont is supplied she keeps
up a constant muttering. Later when her
hunger is npponevd she will risk to ‘im lot
out of the cone. Often when pluyiuunlmut
the room she will climb onto my shoulder
and then scninper oil. L'nlmsshois sleepy
she will olwuys reply to on y tonmrL’ mode
to her.
ller speech is not the chattering ordi-
narily observed in squirrels. but In low
gutturnl tone thnt reminds one both oi
the low notes oi n iron and the chick oi a
chicken. Some of the notes 1 how: been
able to repeat. and invariably she becomes
alert and replies to them. Uniortunntoly.
the eiiort to reproduce her tones produces
en uncomfortable eliect on my throat. and
l have been obliged to desist iron) further
experiments in that direction. The sonudu
that she makes are quick and in low tone,
so the attempt to isolnte words ith'l'y dif-
ficult, yet there is as much rnngeoi inlleo
tion as in German.
Another reason why i believe 14110 is Mr
denvnring to communicate with me is liml
she has “mad the some mundu toward
other squirrels confined in the some cage»,
and that. while she will unswo-r any one
only talk at length to me. 'l'hnt the under-
; stands what. is said to her is beyond ques-
tion. and. iurthcrmoro. l-lho will dietin-
gnish between a remark mud" to her nml
one made to some one clue.
