For this week’s text of week, I will be discussing the conflicts and benefits of radioactive tools that have allowed researcher to discover a deeper level into the world of the bottlenose dolphin and other dolphins as well. Strange to say but just like humans, dolphins call each other by their names too! Not exactly with words, new research shows that Bottlenose dolphins communications consist of whistling! Just like humans, dolphins have different tones of 'whistles' that signal different individuals. Although this research isn't ground-breaking it allows researchers and colleges such as University of St. Andrew's Sea mammal Research Unit, to practice different ways of possibly communicating with these animals. Recently Software from the Wild Dolphin Project has been used for the first real-time translation of a dolphin whistle and better data tools are giving fresh insights into primate communications. Denise Herzing, a researcher, experiences a swim with one of these dolphins that she won't forget. As she is able to connect with these dolphins she is now able, with the given technology to communicate with them on a deeper level, "I was like whoa! We have a match. I was stunned". With this new techonolgy Denise stresses the idea of how these tools can be harmful and dangerous towards the animals and humans. More research has been put into place about how these dolphin translation tools can be used in a less harmful and dangerous way. Dolphins are a huge part of the ecosystem. Bottlenose dolphin are very interesting creatures as other dolphins send different type of frequencies, which differs from the whistles that the bottle nose dolphins perform. Between the research that is being done and the extensive amounts of labs and fundraisers that are being performed, it’s no doubt that the Wild Dolphin project will be able to turn this fairly harmful tool into a device that is safe for the environment but also supplies vital information for new information.
