| Bottlenose Dolphin |
We know that dolphins are smart, but
we did not know that some dolphins have names for each other.
That’s right. Bottlenose dolphins “call out the…names of
loved ones when they become separated.”
This news comes from scientists that study dolphins.
The dolphins don’t squeak out, “Hey,
George!” But what they do is make a “signature
whistle” that identifies a single dolphin.
They are the only animals known to do this, says the study that took
place in Florida.
This special sound can also identify
the whistling dolphin. That helps other
dolphins identify each other. Another
special thing about this dolphin “name whistling” is that it is used only for loved
ones, like a buddy or a mother.
