    The information from the animals.In my opinion,animals can know each other in thw way we do not know.From the definition of language, "Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication." So animals have only communication but not language. To start with, language has the feature of cultural transmission, while animals do not have and many ways of their communication is genetically transmitted. Secondly, human language can talk about things remote in time or space, while except bee's dancing, other animals fail to achieve this. The most important feature of language is Duality. Language has at least two levels of structure, primary level and secondary level. However, animals only have one level, which means that the minimal meaningful units cannot be combined into longer, more complex units. Last but not least, human lingiustic units can be grouped and regrouped, arranged and rearranged according to certain rules but animals cannot.
