No, non-human animals do not play musical instruments like human beings. While some animals have demonstrated an ability to produce sounds and even mimic human-made sounds, they do not engage in the deliberate and structured creation of music as humans do.
The capacity to create and play musical instruments is a uniquely human ability. Humans have developed a complex system of music involving rhythm, melody, harmony, and various musical instruments to create a wide range of musical expressions.
However, some animals are capable of vocalizations and communication through sounds. For example, birds have intricate songs and calls that they use for communication and mating purposes. Whales and dolphins are known for their complex vocalizations as well. These sounds are an essential part of their communication and social interactions, but they are not considered music in the way humans understand it.
While some animals can be trained to respond to sounds and even mimic certain actions, their abilities are not comparable to the deliberate and expressive way humans create and play musical instruments to produce music as an art form. Music, as a cultural and artistic expression, remains a unique human endeavor.
