Episode 2
Episode #1.2
Lucy wants to explore how animals communicate with their friends. She learns that horses recognise their friends and that dolphins don't just greet each other - they all have unique signatures or names. For the final leg of her journey, Lucy meets two incredible birds who talk to their neighbours - the fork-tailed drongo mimics other species to trick nearby meerkats into giving up their food. But it's the greater honeyguide's conversation with its human neighbours that Lucy finds particularly profound and moving.
