At this point in our evolution, such communication appears fantastical. It would make a great story similar to the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Perhaps, it would be more in line with your logic to wonder how those long conversations would be held. Isn't it more self-centered to assume that the animal species would be communicating in our human tongue. Perhaps it is the human species that needs to develop further in order to understand the unique communication of the animal world in order to converse with them about their everyday lives. It occurs to me in your blog that animals already communicate quite well. We are simply unable to understand their form of communication. But on a purely reactionary note, I would love to envision a world where I could have a grand conversation with a tiger on the savannah or a conversation with a bald eagle and a great swim with a dolphin. Thank you for jogging me out of that sense of plainness and making me think outside the box. You posit an interesting theory about inter-species communication.
