“Talking” to Dolphins

Based on a feature from Discovery News, a new “translator” on-the-works has been developed in Japan, a device primed to facilitate the communication between humans and dolphins.

The “translator” essentially reproduces the sounds made by dolphins, dealing with various pitches and frequencies, including those which dolphins utilize in communicating with each other.

It allows for further research and understanding over the “language” of dolphins, and as a work in progress, its success proves to be promising as a means for human beings to understand what dolphins are “talking” about.

Currently, researchers and scientists are eager in giving the new device a go, with plans on conducting a number of tests, touching up on the vocalizations and sounds aspect of dolphin “talk”, in relation to responses.

It is hoped that gathered research data would lead to further understanding over the dolphin language, kind of like a Rosetta Stone equivalent, which would then lead to the development of a language-translation system between human lingo and dolphin talk.

As amazing as the device is, many have raised a question pertaining to the intent of its creation. Why would humans want to talk to dolphins, anyhow?

Many are not aware of how dolphins have been helpful in undersea tasks done by dolphins, given their versatility and trainability.

They’ve been helpful in mapping undersea trenches, as well as have helped in the rigging of sonar sensors for deep sea explorations. Developing a system that allows for better interaction with them will surely make things easier for concerned parties.

That plus it just may be that dolphins have something interesting to tell human beings.

“So long, and thanks for all the fish,” maybe.

Beach-goers rescue 30 stranded dolphins on Brazilian beach

At 8:00 am on March 5th, 30 dolphins became stranded on a beach in Arraial do Cabo, Brazil. Local beach-goers witnessed the "dolphin invasion," and quickly took action.

ABC explains what happened:

"The pod gets too close to the beach and is pushed into the shallow water by the waves. The dolphins, trapped in the surf, show their distress by thrashing their flippers."

The good Samaritans saved every last dolphin, pulling the slippery mammals by their tails to deeper water.

Dolphin

Dolphins are one of the large sea mammals. Like most other sea animals dolphins are carnivores (meat eaters). Dolphins are intelligent and friendly animals, so some of them are trained by humans to serve as entertainment in the attractions at the circus or SeaWorld-like parks (also known as ‘dolphinaria’). While in the middle of the open sea, sometimes we see a pod of dolphins swim alongside a boat, jumping up and down to follow the boat’s wake, as if the dolphins are not afraid of humans. There are some stories we've ever heard of course about the people who were saved by dolphins at sea. Throughout history and legend, dolphins are portrayed as helpful and protective of people. Unfortunately, they are also considered as food—killed in harpoon drives like in Taiji, Japan and in the Faroe Islands.
