"a new citizen science project for you to play with - matching up whalesong to try and analyze the watery leviathans' language... Each family of killer whales appears to have a distinct "dialect" that it uses to communicate, and closely related families appear to share calls ... Your task is to pick the one that's closest to the original call, with the help of visualizations of what the audio sounds like."
The website is whale.fm.
wonderful radio interview with the woman who first discovered the songs of whales and is now researching how elephants communicate outside of human auditory range
This article reminds me of the "Singing Neanderthals" reading that we did. Perhaps whales, like babies, hear tones instead of actual words and can also perceive emotions of other whales they communicate with. If this is so, would this 'tone communication' be considered a language in of itself?
