Animal telepathy - from Diablo to Spirit

Is telepathy possible? How about inter-species telepathy?

Before listening, discuss:

1. What exactly makes humans different from other species? Are we as different as we believe?

2. Have you ever experienced a strong relationship with an animal? Talk about how you communicated.

3. What is an animal communicator? Do you believe some people can communicate on a complex level with animals?
