"It's like listening to people from California, Texas and Vermont," said Konstantin Slobodshkov, a professor at Stafford northern arizona University in flaig. In Gunnison's 25-year woodchuck research, he recorded 10 woodchuck nouns, including eagle, deer and coyote, as well as some adjectives describing color, size and shape, and even some verbs explaining speed. So a groundhog may warn his kind that "a big man in a yellow shirt is approaching us quickly".
Slobodan Shikov suspects that there may be more words in the woodchuck's language system. In an ongoing study, he and his classmates made some black wooden animal outlines and some geometric shapes-ellipses, triangles and stars, and then quickly put them into the territory of prairie dogs and rats. What's the reaction? Slobodan Sikow said, "Marmots have created many new words to describe shapes. Obviously, they have a very wide range of words in their brains and can use them at will. " Finally, Slobodan Shikov hoped to have a dialogue with animals, although the early attempts were far from complicated dialogues. Slobodan Shikoff said, "I once asked my best groundhog, the coyote representing theory, but they just looked at me with disgust, as if I had just said something indecent."
