Satyen Mohapatra A recent scientific study from the University of Queensland Australia demonstrating “cultural exchange” taking place between two groups of whales will make us see the whales with a new look.
Do the male whales learn new songs to impress female whales ? Scientists have no clue. Why the male whales sing still remains a mystery? It is known that humans and whales have a lot of commonality, both being mammals that give live birth to their young, feed their young milk and are among the most social and affectionate animals that cuddle and caress.
Whales also have their behaviors and languages which distinguish their culture as we humans.
They make “clicks”, “whistles” and other sounds with their mouths to communicate.
A humpback whale makes sounds like songs which are long and complex rhythmic vocalizations.Every male sings the same song, but the songs themselves are different in different groups of whales around the world.
