What animal would you talk to?

[Kyriakos]

Would any other creature be able to even communicate, if it somehow had the means to talk and used a known language?
I doubt they function in so similar way - that is those few types of beings which actually have the minimum intelligence required in the first place.
Eg whales and such might not be having "discussions" between themselves anymore that'd you call pheromone triggers a form of discussion. Language, on the other hand, is obviously distinct from the message to be conveyed - no two humans form the same word in their mind in the same way in the first place.

Low-level communication between humans and lower animals already exists, it's just not verbal. It's not of an intricate level either, regardless of what the human may project.

Quote by Heraklides of Pontos, mentioned by Aristotle.

Anything but a cougar

 

[Darsnan]

Right now I'd like to be able to talk to bees and tell them not to sting me!

My right leg from just below the knee all the way to the first digits of my toes are now swollen thanx to some kamikaze drone's work.
I've had issues with allergic reactions from insect stings in the past so went to the doctor's office where I got a steroid shot and confirmation I was already doing the right things (benedryl and soaking the foot in ice water).

If I have to pick just one, rainbow lorikeets

They gather in trees in the shopping strip near where I live at dusk and are very loud. They're clearly having some very animated conversations.
