33、 flying mammals communicate? Researchers have observed young bats adopting new “dialects” simply by hearing them repeatedly, making them one of the few animals known to have a capacity for vocal（声音的）learning. “These bats may help us clarify the evolution of speech acquisition（习得）skills,” says Yosef

The study of animal models.B. The origin of spoken language.C. The complexity of spoken language.D. The difference between anima
