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."
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 ...
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.
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 ...
Whale vocalizations are the sounds made by whales to communicate. The word "song" is used in particular to describe the pattern of regular and predictable sounds made by some species of whales (notably the humpback and bowhead whales) in a way that is reminiscent of human singing. Humans produce sound by expelling air through the larynx.
It is one of Earth's most haunting sounds - the "singing" of baleen whales like the humpback, heard over vast distances in the watery realm. Baleen whales - a group that includes the blue whale ...
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 ...
