Is this creature able to understand? There is a lot of spoken language directed by humans, apparently under the impression that the animal follows what is being said. For example a variety of circus animals go Up, Down and Roll over in response to spoken comands. And in this case Einstein dances, makes answers, makes some particular sounds etc. Should be treat the examples as evidence that non-humans can understand human language? Acourding to numerous studies probably not. The standard explanation is that the animal produces a particular behavior in response to a particular sound-stimulus or "noise", but does not actually "understand" what the words in the noise mean.
