Cetacean Communication

Cetacean communication involves the complex sounds and behaviors used by whales, dolphins, and porpoises to interact, navigate, and coordinate. They produce a variety of vocalizations, such as clicks, whistles, and songs, which can convey information about their identity, location, and emotional state. These sounds can travel long distances underwater, enabling social bonding and coordinated activities within groups. Researchers study cetacean communication to better understand their social structures and behaviors, as it offers insights into their sophisticated and adaptable ways of interacting in their aquatic environments.
