Do animals name each other

Verified answer

There's no way to speak for all animals, but there is evidence that some animals do have ways to differentiate each other. Some parrots, for example, seem to identify themselves with specific sets of peeps, and it's possible their parents give them those names. Sweet, right?

And parrots aren't the only animals we suspect name each other. Dolphins also have distinctive whistles that function similarly to names. To prove this, researchers played a variety of whistles to a group of dolphins, and the individuals only replied to their signature sound, as if they were calling back when their name had been called.

It is so "human" to presume that animals have no intelligence or a slim grasp of reality. This justifies our treatment and consumption of them.  This mentality is planted in us all as we reflect societies general opinions. This stunts progression for Man.

They don't need vocab to communicate. They are able to communicate and even differentiate each other using sounds. All animals are extremely intelligent. In some ways, they are more intelligent than us!

I have often wondered about this when I was very young when I questioned: 'do animals have intelligence?' I quickly came to realize that it is impossible for an animal to have had any intelligence whatsoever. It would of had to have a vocabulary and vowels. That way it would be able to name itself.

Incorrect. Intelligence is not based off dialect. Dialect is simply evidence. animals have intelligence to differentiate sounds and identify them, such as a dog recognizing its own name called by the owner. Birds for example have problem solving skills.

Dolphins, crows, primates, and parrots have all been observed using unique calls when they want the attention of specific members of their groups. This means that, at least among these species, individual animals actually have the equivalent of their own names.

Human beings can actually never find the animals name each other as this is a mystery because all the species are different from each other. Many people say parrots and dolphins talk name etc. but this not correct because these animals are trained and the dolphins have the nature like that. For example: We human beings pretend to vocal like dog, cat and other but we are not similar to them. So, we can't say that animals can name each other or not and also we name each other but animals do not know what we do. So, this is concluded that animals do not know about us and we also cannot know the mystery of animals.

I don't think name but more like know one from the other. A parrot for example might think that all humans look the same (though we think the same for them) but, humans can recognise another human without knowing their name.
