Answer:

Animals cannot acquire any of the four characteristics of language because of physical and mental limitations.

Explanation:

In order to call something a language, there are four characteristics, language has to be "symbolic, semantic, generative, and structured", symbolic means that it has to represent something else, since animals do not have the cognitive capacity to make sounds that represent something else, their sounds are not called language.
