Zoolinguism

The mental or magical power to talk to animal life forms and understand their reactions. Also known as Faunal Communication or Animal Whispering.

Capability
The user is basically able to understand the speech or emotions of animal life forms. This ability is quite uncommon and multifaceted. Some variations are magic-based while others are natural talents or mental powers, similiar to Telepathy or Omnilingualism (but limited on animals). The use of Zoolingualism is sometimes imagined for "imitating" animal sounds, like the barking of a dog or the croak of a frog. But in fact, Zoolinguists are normally shown for using their abilitys in their human language, in a very own animal-language (like Parsel or Mangani, the Gorilla-language in the original books of "Tarzan of the apes"), or even mentally without any spoken words.



Interestingly, nearly all variations of Zoolingualism have an innate origin. Most of the known users possess this ability by their birth, like Dr. Dolittle, who had his first conscious experience with zoolingualism in his early childhood. However, it seems to be possible to learn this ability. Therefor, it's necessary to grow up with the need of it, like Tarzan, who was raised by Manganis/Gorillas and never had contact to other humans for a long time.

On an advanced level of this power, the user is able to understand animals in every imaginable way, which results in enourmus knowledge and foreseeability of their actions.
