We don't know that.

I rember hearing a radio program on prairie dogs and their abiulity to 
communicate using a limited number of barking and/or yipping patterns.  The 
commentator was puzzled.  I wasn't.  It was clear they used different 
pitches.

Counterpoint.  Many frogs singing in a pond.  Different patterns, different 
notes.  Other frogs must be able to pull the messages intended for them from 
this seeming chaos.  For us to do the same, we use multiplexing.

So who's the superior listener?
