Can Dolphins Help Us Talk To Extraterrestrials?
For 27 years, marine biologist Denise Herzing and colleagues have been regular visitors in the Atlantic Ocean home of a 200-member pod of spotted dolphins living north of the Bahama Islands. Understanding the relationships between the members of the pod is key to unraveling what their dozens of whistles, clicks and other signals mean. "The large goal of this project is to tell the story of what it's like to be a dolphin," Herzing, a researcher with Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and the founder and head of the Wild Dolphin Project, told Discovery News. But being a curious and intelligent species, the dolphins weren't content to just let the scientists take their underwater videos and record their sounds.
