Whales talk in their own language. Really. This came
from Nature Communications. Their study shows how
sperm whales talk to each other in their own way.
Mind, they have the largest brains of any animal. Not only
that, they can dive down 6,000 feet to find their next meal.
Their favorite meal are giant squid among other delightful
mouthfuls.
They make deep dives together, far below what humans
can reach. Some have, but not often.
It seems the whales make clicking sound by squeezing
air through their respiratory system. They also
use a ‘zipper-like ‘noise to talk to each other. They also use
this to find prey.
Writer’s comment: It seems sperm whales have families
and seem to have a sense of identities. They even make group
decisions as a family. A Canadian biologist, Shane Gero, helping
to decode a whale’s phonetic alphabet.
