Sperm whales rattle off pulses of clicks while swimming together, raising the possibility that they’re communicating in a complex language.

Ever since the discovery of whale songs almost 60 years ago, scientists have been trying to decipher their lyrics. Are the animals producing complex messages akin to human language? Or sharing simpler pieces of information, like dancing bees do? Or are they communicating something else we don’t yet understand?
In 2020, a team of marine biologists and computer scientists joined forces to analyze the click-clacking songs of sperm whales, the gray, block-shaped leviathans that swim in most of the world’s oceans. On Tuesday, the scientists reported that the whales use a much richer set of sounds than previously known, which they called a “sperm whale phonetic alphabet.”
People have a pho-ne-tic alphabet too, which we use to produce a practically infinite supply of words. But Shane Gero, a marine biologist at Carleton University in Ottawa and an author of the study, said it’s unclear whether sperm whales similarly turn their phonetic sounds into a language.
“The fundamental similarities that we do find are really fascinating,” Dr. Gero said. “It’s totally changed the way we have to do work going forward.”
Since 2005, Dr. Gero and his colleagues have followed a clan of 400 sperm whales around Dominica, an island nation in the eastern Caribbean, eavesdropping on the whales with u
I miss the Amiga 500 in that list. ;)
Man I love Bonobo, I am lucky to have played the game Sleeping Dogs otherwise I never would have known him.
In the UK there is the "Too good to go" app.
I save a lot of money on groceries this way and provide others as well. You pay a third of the original price.
Because that is what I observe, there is no joke or silly thing in here to me.
My friend has a French Bulldog. Dog Henry has a great personality but he should have no offspring as he is in constant peril for air because breeders thought money. It is heart wrenching to look at.
Off course that dog is uncomfortable, it is miserable and should not exist. Skull too small for it's brain, just look at its eyes popping out of its skull. Still humans think it so cute. Some dog breeds should not exist. I feel sorry for it.
