🐬 Dolphins Speak in Whistles – And It's More Complex Than We Thought!

 Like humans, dolphins rely on social bonds to survive—and their communication is surprisingly sophisticated. New research reveals:

🔍 What We Discovered:

• Signature whistles (like dolphin "names") may carry extra info—possibly emotions or context—beyond just identity.

• Males show more vocal variability than females, hinting at different social roles.

• Some whistles are shared among groups, like a team "handshake."

🎤 Why It Matters:

• Noise pollution isn’t just annoying—it’s like blurring everyone’s faces for dolphins, disrupting survival.

• Their whistles combine stability + flexibility, much like human faces (fixed features + expressions).

🌊 The Bigger Picture:
"Dolphin communication is a window into their social intelligence—and our impact on it."
