Animal communication is the act of communicating with animals without the physical use of sound, sight, or touch. The process of communicating with animals is called Telepathy. Broken down, “Tele” means over distance and “pathy” is feelings, thoughts and emotions. So, in essence, animal communication is the sending and receiving of thoughts and feelings over distance.
