About the Book

What if the Earth has always been speaking- and we're only now learning how to listen? From the rainforest canopy to the ocean's abyss, from backyard songbirds to elephant herds rumbling across the savanna, The Secret Tongue invites you on an extraordinary journey into the vibrant, intricate, and often overlooked world of animal communication. In this groundbreaking, genre-defining work, author Geoffrey Zachary weaves cutting-edge science with poetic storytelling to uncover how animals speak through sound, scent, posture, colour, touch, and even silence. Blending insights from biology, linguistics, anthropology, Indigenous knowledge, artificial intelligence, and acoustic ecology, this book reveals the true breadth and depth of how living creatures share meaning-and what we can learn from their remarkable intelligence, emotional expression, and social complexity. Through vivid chapters that span species and continents, you'll explore: - The musical grammar of whales and songbirds - The chemical codes of ants and bees - The emotional gestures of wolves, elephants, and apes - The mimicry and invention of parrots and dolphins - The cultural dialects of prairie dogs, gibbons, and orcas - And how humans are finally building the tools-and the humility-to understand Yet this is not just a book about animals. It is a book about connection. About reawakening a sense of kinship with the wild, and rediscovering the parts of ourselves that modern life has quieted-instinct, empathy, presence, and the ability to truly listen. From AI-powered whale translators to forest soundscape sanctuaries, from Indigenous trackers who "read" the language of birds to citizen scientists decoding urban frog choruses, The Secret Tongue explores a bold, hopeful future in which communication between species becomes a path to conservation, healing, and coexistence. Discover a book that will change the way you walk through the world. Whether you're a nature lover, educator, biologist, animal caretaker, or simply someone who's ever locked eyes with a creature and wondered what it was thinking, The Secret Tongue will leave you astonished, moved, and forever attuned to the conversations happening all around you.
