Scientists are now able to begin deciphering how dolphins convey information to each other and to then use this information to start a conversation.

Science Shows Dolphins Communicate Holographically

Recently scientists have made a significant breakthrough in inter-species communication. Researchers in the UK and USA have proved that the clicking sounds dolphins use for echolocation actually form reproducible holographic pictures that the researchers suggest may be the basis of dolphin language. With the use of cutting edge technology such as the CymaScope and 3D print technology, the scientists at SpeakDolphin believe they have been able to see what dolphins see for the first time. This amazing discovery has exciting implications for the future, as the first step in being able to potentially communicate with dolphins in their own language. Dolphins communicate holograms and now we can see them. Dolphin Communication Dolphins communicate in a wide variety of ways, just as we do. Dolphins deserve same rights as humans, say scientists.

Dolphins deserve same rights as humans, say scientists

Experts in philosophy, conservation and animal behaviour want support for a Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans. They believe dolphins and whales are sufficiently intelligent to justify the same ethical considerations as humans. Recognising their rights would mean an end to whaling and their captivity, or their use in entertainment. Continue reading the main story. Unify - Who loves whales?

Professional soccer player Josh Phillips and his friend were taking a boat ride Tuesday afternoon near The Evergreen State College when they saw another boat anchored in the waters of Eld Inlet, at the southern end of Puget Sound. As they approached the boat, the pair noticed that something was slightly amiss. Phillips told the Olympian: “It looked a little off and we got closer and closer and realized there were two massive animals on board.” Phillips, who is the owner and president of Spawn Fly Fish, is no stranger to marine life—he has frequently seen orcas and gray whales, but this is the first time he’s ever seen sea lions just hanging out like that on a boat. “I’ve never seen anything like this.” Since posting video of the rare sight to his Instagram account on Tuesday, the video has racked up over a million views.

Scientists capture an amazing video of a deep sea fish with “feet”

During NOAA’s Okeanos exploration of the Mona Canyon off the coast of Puerto Rico during the Oceano Profundo a deep sea fish was filmed walking along the bottom. The Pink Frogmouth, Chaunax pictus, is a type of anglerfish that uses modified fins to “walk” across the seafloor. “This fish has been living for so long here that its fins have changed into something more useful – feet. They help it shuffle about on the sea floor.” The pink frogmouth has a depth range of 200 – 978 meters and has been documented in both the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
