Communication via Seismic Vibrations in Kangaroo Rats
Quick fact
Kangaroo rats can generate seismic vibrations by thumping their feet at up to 100 beats per second, and these vibrations can be detected by other kangaroo rats several meters away through the soil.
Why this is interesting
You've heard of birds singing and frogs croaking, but what if an animal 'talks' by drumming its feet on the ground?
