Animals can't talk. But they can lie(说谎)with their bodies. This helps them to be far from danger.
Let's look at birds first. There's a bird named the plover. When danger is near its babies' home,the plover pretends(假装)to have a broken wing(翅膀). This makes the enemy(敌人)follow it,and the baby birds can stay safe.
Then there are scrub jays(灌丛鸦). These birds hide food so they always have something to eat. They also take food from other birds when there is no one around them. They watch where others hide their food and then take it away. But clever scrub jays seem to know when others are watching them. So they get back later,take out the food and hide it again in a new place.
Chimpanzees(黑猩猩)are clever,too. After a fight(打架),the losing chimpanzee will give its hand to the winner. Then they become friends again. When chimpanzees find food,they usually cry out loudly to tell others where the food is. But some clever ones make only a very soft noise. In this way,other chimpanzees don't hear them,and they don't need to share the food.
