Another “Happy Friday” story!
A Russian researcher claims to have recorded a conversation between dolphins and if this is the case, it is the first ever.
From the article:
“Two adult Black Sea bottlenose dolphins, named Yasha and Yana, didn’t interrupt each other during an interaction taped by scientists and may have formed words and sentences with a series of pulses, Vyacheslav Ryabov says in a new paper.“The (pulse) exchanges reminds us of an exchange with sentences between two people,” Ryabov told CNN.”
We’ve known for a long time that dolphins were very intelligent so it only makes sense that they would communicate, but we will need more research before we can definitively say they are “chatting”.
More from the article:
“There are two different types of noises dolphins use for communication, whistles and clicks, also known as pulses. Using new recording techniques, Ryabov separated the individual “non coherent pulses” the two dolphins made and theorized each pulse was a word in the dolphins’ language, while a collection of pulses is a sentence.
“Dolphins are producing these packs of pulses without interrupting each other which let’s us suggest that each of the dolphins listen to one another before it starts its own pack of pulses,” he told CNN.
Ryabov’s paper, published in the St. Petersburg Polytechnical University Journal: Physics and Mathematics, indicated that the pulses could be considered a highly developed spoken language. And now he’d like humans to create a device so we could communicate with dolphins. “Humans must take the first step to establish relationships with the first intelligent inhabitants of the planet Earth by creating devices capable of overcoming the barriers that stand in the way of … communications between dolphins and people,” he told CNN.
We look forward to the day when we CAN communicate with our beautiful ocean friends. IN the ocean, where they belong.
