Intelligent inhabitants of the seas

Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals in the ocean. Researchers are studying their social behavior, their communication, and their ability to solve complex problems.

 

Communication underwater

Dolphins use clicks, whistles, and body language to communicate with each other. Some studies even show that individual animals have unique "signature whistles" that function like a personal name.

 

Protection through research

The insights from dolphin research also aid in the protection of these animals. By understanding their habitat and migrations, protected areas can be better planned and threats such as noise or fishing nets can be reduced.
