"makes grammatical mistakes."
writes Wittgenstein (PI, s. 67).
But, as Geary notes, few other animals speak, to start with.
I'm collecting dicta on "man is the only animal that ..." -- the point: to
illustrate Aristotle's idea of the "idion".
Man is the only animal that wipes his arse.
Man is the only animal that writes and reads pornography.
Etc.
