Do you think that i have ability to understand and communicate with animals?

This is a classic example of a phenomenon called "confirmation bias". Humans have a tendency to only remember those moments that support whatever idea they have in their head. How many times have you been around an animal and NO coincidence happened? I'd be willing to bet the number is much, much larger than three. But those times weren't interesting, so you don't remember them. You only remember the few rare moments that make it seem like you're special, because we all want to feel special. The fact is, these were just random coincidences that can be easily explained away and mean absolutely nothing.
