Whale Talk: Decoding Whale Communication

By Karen Romano Young

Can whales talk?

Cetaceans, which include whales, dolphins, and porpoises, make a lot of sound. Some of them echolocate. Some, such as humpback whales and orcas, seem to have names. Scientists even propose that the sounds whales make are so vast and complex that they make up a language. So, what might whales be saying? Explore the field of whale communication research, including when people first heard whale song, what technology researchers have developed to record and analyze whale sounds, and even how scientists had their first successful conversation with a whale.
