Yup they do. Dolphins have to communicate whrn they hunt. And monkeys do have laguage, coz this study was done, and these scientists recorded different noises made by monkey's when a preditor was seen. They then played them again, when there wasn't any preditors and they reacted in the same way, as if there was a preditor.

Yups. Found the study that I got that from
Vervet monkeys give different alarm calls to different predators. Recordings of the alarms played back when predators were absent caused the monkeys to run into trees for leopard alarms, look up for eagle alarms, and look down for snake alarms. Adults call primarily to leopards, martial eagles, and pythons, but infants give leopard alarms to various mammals, eagle alarms to many birds, and snake alarms to various snakelike objects. Predator classification improves with age and experience.
