To understand the body language of animals, you need to take the time to learn it. It's very similar to learning a verbal language, but instead of learning syntax and grammar it involves learning subtle signals in eyes, ears, mouth, tail, general stance, which muscles are tense, etc. I can say that because I don't understand what the Hungarians are saying, I don't know if they are ignorant or sophisticated. But if I would learn Hungarian, I would know what they are saying.
If you learn the body language of a particular species, you will also know what they are saying. Ask anyone who is working professionally with horses and dogs for instance. They have a very varied and expressive body language. Cows also have a big "vocabulary" in their body language, but since few people work with cows in that same way, a lot of people choose to not learn it.
