🐬 How do dolphins communicate?

Dolphins are super smart and chatty! 🐬 They talk to each other using sounds like clicks, whistles, and squeaks. It's like they have their own secret language under the sea! 🌊

They also use body language, like jumping and splashing, to say "hello" or "let's play!"

Dolphins communicate in amazing ways! 🐬 They use a mix of sounds and body movements to "talk" to each other. Here’s how:

• Clicks: Used for echolocation (like sonar) to find food and navigate.
• Whistles: Each dolphin has a unique whistle—like a name! They use it to call friends.
• Body language: Leaping, tail slaps, or nudges send messages like "danger" or "let’s go!"

Scientists think dolphins even have "sentences" in their whistles! 🤯

How Dolphins "Talk" Underwater

Dolphins have one of the most advanced communication systems in the animal kingdom! 🐬 Here’s how it works:

1. Sound Communication

• Echolocation clicks: High-frequency clicks bounce off objects, helping dolphins "see" with sound.
• Signature whistles: Each dolphin creates a unique whistle as a "name"—used to identify themselves and call others.
• Burst-pulse sounds: These convey emotions or warnings (e.g., excitement or danger).

2. Body Language

Dolphins use gestures like:
- Spy-hopping (peeking above water)
- Tail slaps (to signal aggression)
- Synchronized swimming (showing teamwork)

3. Social Intelligence

Dolphins remember each other’s whistles for decades and even "name" their friends! Studies suggest they might have regional "dialects."
