Countries are a human concept.

  The question isn't perfectly formed, but I believe we all understand what is being asked.

  This is obviously true, but borders frequently form along key geographical barriers. In any case the appropriate reference point would be linguistic regions of around 200+ years ago. Radio and television are the biggest problem with a modern comparison, but you'd want to eliminate cars and trains as well.

  That's what I thought to myself about the headline, before clicking the article. As soon as I clicked, I found that the question asked was in fact intellectually interesting, and was not well summarized by the headline. There are even more interesting answers there. Definitely recommend taking the time to read or at least skim the article, and not react to headlines, because headlines are so often over-simplified and even click-baity. Species of animals do appear to have natural regional differences. And maybe regional differences in humans or human languages affect animals too, who knows? There's a slim chance that animals from different countries might not understand each other because countries are a human concept.
