The Dolphin Institute - Dolphin Research. Echolocation is the process of detecting and identifying objects by emitting sounds, such as the broadband clicks used by dolphins, and listening to the echoes returning from objects reflecting those sounds.
A recent discovery we made is that dolphins appear capable of directly perceiving the shapes of objects through echolocation. Prior to this finding, it had been generally assumed that dolphins learned to identify and recognize objects through echolocation by a process of associative learning-by comparing the echoes returning from targets with the visual appearance of those targets.
Instead, our work has shown that echolocation can yield an immediate perception of the shapes of objects without any intervention by associative learning. We established this finding by asking the dolphin to inspect an object inside of a visually opaque box, using echolocation alone, and then to find a match for that object from among two or more objects inspected through vision alone.

Beluga whale 'makes human-like sounds' 22 October 2012Last updated at 12:02 ET Beluga whales are known as "canaries of the sea" because of their frequent, high-pitched calls Researchers in the US have been shocked to discover a beluga whale whose vocalisations were remarkably close to human speech.
While dolphins have been taught to mimic the pattern and durations of sounds in human speech, no animal has spontaneously tried such mimicry. But researchers heard a nine-year-old whale named NOC make sounds octaves below normal, in clipped bursts. The first mystery, though, was figuring out where the sound was coming from.

非常に神経質で飼育が困難とされているスジイルカですが、現在はマリナリュウムでマダライルカとともに元気に暮らしています。 種目の訓練も進み、回転ダンスや握手などができるようになりました。 特に得意なのはジャンプ！！ 上にぶつかってしまいそうなくらい高いジャンプができるんですよ！ 現在はコーラスの訓練を頑張っています。 そして、健康管理には欠かせない受診動作の訓練も進み、最近では体温測定が安定してできるようになり、先日初めて採血ができました！！ 採血結果も問題なし(o^-^o)初めは尾ビレどころか体にさえなかなか触らせてくれなかったのでとても大変だったようです。 マリナリュウムに引越ししてすぐはマダライルカたちから仲間外れにされていましたが、最近はすっかり仲良し♪胸ビレでお互いの体を触ったり、こすり合ったりしている姿はとても微笑ましいですよ。 スジイルカを飼育しているのは世界でくじらの博物館だけ。
