The power to talk to animal life forms and understand their reactions. Sub-power of Animal Manipulation. Variation of Omnilingualism. Opposite of Human Speech Replication.
==Also Called==
*Anima (The Lorien Legacies)
*Animal Communication/Whispering
*Animal Soul Speaking
*Dolittling
*Faunal/Fauna/Wildlife Communication
*Bestial Speech
==Capabilities==
The user is able to understand the speech and emotions of animal life forms and talk and communicate with them. This ability is quite uncommon and multifaceted. Some variations are magic based while others are natural talents or mental powers, similar to Telepathy (but limited to animals). The use of Zoolingualism is sometimes imagined as imitating animal sounds, like the barking of a dog. Zoolinguists are normally shown using their abilities in their native language, in an animal-language (like Parseltongue or Mangani), or even mentally without any spoken words.
Some users are able to understand animals in every imaginable way, which results in enormous knowledge and foreseeability of their actions.

==Origins==
===Magic-based===
Some cases of magical Zoolingualism are known. A well-known example might be Parseltongue, the magical language of Snakes (Harry Potter). The title character himself was able to speak this mysterious language, without even recognizing it. Parselmouths (users of Parseltongue) are able to understand the thoughts of snakes and even give them commands.
Another form of magical Zoolingualism is the telepathic connection of a Dragon Rider to his Dragon (Eragon). Dragons, shown as intelligent and civilized creatures, may stand on the same level as humans or even higher, but they aren't able to talk.
Both examples are limited to a specified type of nonhuman creatures.
===Natural ability===
Zoolingualism as a natural ability is quite uncommon, especially amongst humans. That would assume a physiological component, like a body part or an organ. However, the humanoid alien race of the moon Pandora, the Na'vi, are able to establish a special physical connection with their fauna, called Tsaheylu (Na'vi for "The bond"). Tsaheylu allows the Na'vi, to link their mind with the brain of animals to wield influence in their actions, without taking their free will.
===Mental/Psychic===
Even in the Pokémon franchise, a world without any normal animals, Zoolingualism is present. The young Pokémon Trainer and "Frontier Brain" Anabel showed the ability to sense the feelings of any Pokémon and communicate with them without even using words, Telepathy. That gives her a great advantage in a Pokémon-Battle, because the enemy is always unaware of her next move. Similar to her, but less apparent, is the gym leader Sabrina, who shared a psychic connection with her Pokémon Kadabra. Both, Anabel and Sabrina, are Psychic-type trainers.
==Heredity==
Some variations of Zoolingualism seem to be heritable. It's known that Dr. Dolittle's daughters, Charisse and Maya Dolittle inherited the ability from her father. The parselmouth Tom Riddle (alias Lord Voldemort) also inherited this ability, as his mother and his whole maternal kinship, back to his ancestor Salazar Slytherin, consisted of a long line of Parselmouths.
==Limitations==
*May be limited to certain kinds of animals.
*Doesn't give control over animals.
*Unless one is multilingual or has the automatic ability to translate, there may be a chance it won't work if the animal is "speaking" in another language.
*The animal may not be intelligent enough to give due response to one who employs this power.
