Understanding Dolphin Communication: Sounds, Whistles, and Body Language

Dolphins are remarkable communicators, using a variety of methods to convey messages. They utilize sounds, such as unique whistles known as signature whistles, to help identify themselves within a group. These whistles, alongside clicks—short high-frequency sounds emitted in series called click trains—allow for effective communication, especially in locating each other. Beyond vocalizations, dolphins also express themselves through body language, employing over 30 different movements such as tail slapping and diving. This multifaceted approach to communication showcases the intelligence of these fascinating marine mammals.
