        Most animals lack complex vocal cords like we have in our throats, so they can’t make smooth vowel sounds, and what they try to say are peculiar sounds which are understood by the other members of their own species.

        Animals speak between them, they communicate but effectively they don’t speak like us. This is due to the larynx that they have which is not adapt to articulate words and sound. Also, their brain is less developed than human so it can’t produce a developed language than human’s one. However they understand each other perfectly.
