Being Human, yet not being Human.

Long time. No see.
Sorry, for the delay. :(

But here we are back with some more.

Parrots, dogs, and what not. We have heard so many of them.
Today we zero in on 3 popular talking animals:-
1) ODIE: The Pug


NOT THE VODAFONE DOG
He is known all over the world as "The Talking Pug"
He said"I love you" on demand, made appearances on Late Show with David LettermanThe Montel Williams Show, and AOL's T.V. Top 5.He died when he was 10 years old, by a seizure.


2) ALEX: The Talking Parrot
ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE REDEFINED
An African Grey Parrot,  Alex was a super genius and it proved to scientists that visited him around the world that Alex was really thinking and understood the meaning of the words he spoke.Owned by  animal psychologist Irene Pepperberg, he was bought from a regular pet shop when he was about one year old.  The name Alex is an acronym for Avian Language EXperiment, but Pepperberg later cited the name as meaning Avian Learning EXperiment to evoke further acceptance in her research field.Dr. Irene Pepperberg who also proved that her brilliant bird could also spell.

3)  BATYR: The Elephant

Batyr was an Asian Elephant known for his ability to precisely reproduce human speech.
NOT JUST ANOTHER JUMBO
He lived his entire life in the Karaganda Zoo in Karaganda, Kazakhstan.He can say phrases like 'Batyr is good' and verbs like 'drink' and 'give', a Moscow newspaper reported yesterday. Its said that a recording of its voice was heard recently on the Kazakh state radio. & he just pushes his trunk into his mouth and starts talking.
