As early as 1965, marine biologist and bioacoustics researcher William N. Tavolga referred to the fact that sperm whales clicks had been often called "'carpenter' sounds." [1] A later naval technical report in 1980 notes that "sperm whale click trains are called "'carpenter fish' sounds by Navy sonar-men."
A sperm whale killed 160 km (100 mi) south of Durban, South Africa, after a 1-hour, 50-minute dive was found with two dogfish (Scymnodon sp.), usually found at the sea floor, in its belly. [71] The sperm whale has the longest intestinal system in the world, [72] exceeding 300 m in larger specimens.
Project CETI is an international initiative to understand the acoustic communication of sperm whales using advances in artificial intelligence. [1] [2] The project has an interdisciplinary scientific board including marine biologists, artificial intelligence researchers, roboticists, theoretical computer scientists, and linguists.
Researchers of chatty creatures like bats, bees, songbirds and whales gather many hours of sound or video recordings and then plug that data into AI language models, the way we might with tools ...
Scientists studying the sperm whales that live around the Caribbean island of Dominica have described for the first time the basic elements of how they might be talking to each other, in an effort ...
Every toothed whale except the sperm whale has two sets of phonic lips and is thus capable of making two sounds independently. [29] Once the air has passed the phonic lips it enters the vestibular sac. From there, the air may be recycled back into the lower part of the nasal complex, ready to be used for sound creation again, or passed out ...
A young member of one of the world’s largest species got stranded on an Outer Banks beach. But rescuers couldn’t save it. A juvenile sperm whale was spotted near Jennette’s Pier on North ...
Spermaceti organ within a sperm whale. The spermaceti organ is an organ present in the heads of toothed whales of the superfamily Physeteroidea, in particular the sperm whale. This organ contains a waxy liquid called spermaceti and is involved in the generation of sound. [1]
