There have been two interesting studies that further support the hypothesis of somewhat complex communication system. One was done in Florida with wild dolphins who hunt cooperativ…

Actually no, orcas echolocate a lot and also exchange quite a few calls while hunting fish (based on acoustic tag data).

We do, actually, for dolphins at least. Researchers did an experiment where dolphins had to coordinate their actions (push 2 buttons together) without seeing each other. So they co…

Motivation could be an issue. What if they do not want to communicate with us? What if we are too slow for them? Dolphins produce burst pulses that have interclick interval of just…

No, it is not that simple. Humpback whales have been observed to interfere and mess up with orcas protecting gray whale calves from being killed. It was observed several times and …

The obstacle is that we still do not fully understand nor are able to replicate their sonar, even the Navy that has been studying dolphins for decades still cannot duplicate bioson…

It is not easy, we have not yet cracked the code, plus will they even have the motivation or any interest to communicate with us? What we do know is that they produce a variety of …

We are trying to do something similar (citizen science + AI) but for the acoustic data,our first model can identify manatee calls and mastication (chewing) sounds. https://manatee-…

Humpback whales have mirror neurons (the ones implicated in "theory of mind") so they might show "compassion". There is so much we still do not know about marine mammals...

Humpback whales appear to show empathy towards other species. We have 115 documented cases of them doing so (and it is a lot given how hard it is to observe them). http://oceanwild…

Thank you!

Oh, yes, Dr. Lilly and his NASA funded study. All acid, sex and other things aside, some of the stuff he did was indeed interesting, if only to get to know dolphins in a way imposs…

>We know a lot about the language of large ocean mammals but it's just not as one to one with how we would translate it. Well, not exactly.In fact, we still know surprisingly littl…

Speaking of dolphins (and whales for that matter), there is a reason why it has been so hard to not just "communicate" with them but to even understand the function and the meaning…

Yet, after nearly 5 decades of research we are still unable to crack their code. We do know however that some sequences they make do not seem to be random.Our problem is to penetra…

To add to the mystery, why do people get less motion sickness when they are not just passengers, but drive their car or a boat?

>When you see it in nature, like in birds and whales, it's about finding a mate. Not exactly, at least for whales. The humpback whale song's function has not been fully understood.…

Agree!

First email, "you are in! ",second email "ups, actually, you are not". Crushing...

Great movie!
