    1) Many animal species communicate through non-vocal systems like visual, auditory, and tactile signals. 2) Human language is composed of discrete units that can be combined according to grammatical rules, allowing for creativity and displacement. 3) While some animals like parrots and mynahs can reproduce words, they cannot follow grammatical rules or create new utterances on their own. Non-human primates also lack the ability to learn human language fully due to the lack of displacement.
