Whale clicks
Scientists have accomplished a whale of a feat. They’ve identified previously unknown complexity in whale communication by analyzing thousands of recorded sequences of sperm whale clicks with artificial intelligence.
Variations in tempo, rhythm and length of the whales’ click sequences, called codas, weave a rich acoustic tapestry.
These variables hint that whales can combine click patterns in multiple ways, mixing and matching phrases to convey a broad range of information to one another.
