Researcher tunes in to dolphin ’sine’ language
Hi All,
Not to brag, but I have swam with many dolphins, in captivity and in the wild. It is truly amazing to hear the sounds they make, especially the loud clicking ones. When you hear that clicking sound in the water, it is really hard to tell what direction the dolphins are coming from but they always find you. You have some idea what the sounds are trying to do but you can not be totally 100% sure what the sounds mean to the dolphins. Well I read this story online about these researchers who seem to have some conclusion on what the sounds mean. The story starts with…
By listening in on bottlenose dolphins under water, marine scientist Liz Hawkins found the creatures had specific whistles for certain activities.
When socialising the dolphins tended to make whistles that were flat or rising in tone, but during their travels “sine” whistles that rise and fall were more frequently heard. <Read More>
Has any of you heard dolphins and the sounds they make? What do you think about what these researchers are saying? Do you think the researchers are correct?
Well, Christmas time is here and don’t get all caught in all the materialism. We should not forget the real reason for the season, it is about celebrating the birth of Christ and spending time with family. So say “Merry Christmas” it feels really good when you say it.
God Bless and Have a great Christmas Day,
John
