Denise Herzing: Could we speak the language of dolphins?

The video explores the intelligence and communication of dolphins, focusing on their large brains and complex social behaviors. It discusses research conducted in the Bahamas, where clear waters allow for detailed observation of dolphin interactions. The study examines dolphin sounds, including signature whistles and echolocation clicks, and their social dynamics. Technological advancements, such as the CHAT system, aim to facilitate two-way communication between humans and dolphins. The research highlights the potential for understanding dolphin intelligence and the future of interspecies communication.
