Talk:Talking animal

message: I think "Anthropomorphism" and "Folklore" are relevant.
There are no "Speech" or "Animal psychology" categories, so I have removed them.
"Animal behaviour" seems to be a relevant category whatever one's POV.

message: The talking cat "Ole Long Johnson" is all over the Internet, but I am told we aren't allowed to post links to YouTube. Can anyone provide a citation for the footage? It's genuine, and if you go on Youtube and type "oh long johnson" the footage is easy to find. 68.146.47.196 15:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I read earlier in today's Metro (London free newspaper) that the Nazis were attempting to train dogs to talk during World War II. If anyone can find a copy of the article, it might be a good source for this article. Miyagawa (talk) 20:32, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Why do Gef the talking mongoose and Kosik the elephant have "citation needed" next to their short descriptions, when they clearly link to full articles here on Wikipedia? That seems kind of lame. Cernansky (talk) 22:24, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The definition of talking animal in this article includes gestures.  Surely this makes the definition so broad it is (virtually) meaningless.  "Gestures" would include every dog, cat, bear, bird, etc that has been trained or learned to raise its paw/claw for food. "Gestures" would include any animal that adopts a bi-pedal stance or locomotion. "Gestures" could even include scratching.  I suggest the word "gestures" is deleted from the definition. __DrChrissy (talk) 10:08, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

message: This article seems to be descending into a list of individual cases of animals that "talk". Several of these are inaccurate and/or poorly edited.  WP prefers prose rather than lists, but there seems little effort by editors to do this here.  Should we start a "List of talking animals" where these individual cases can be listed?__DrChrissy (talk) 14:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
