Beluga whales are highly sociable animals, traveling, hunting and playing together. Therefore, beluga whales need the ability to find each other when they are lost or separated from their pod. They do this by calling to each other. However, not all of these \u2018contact calls\u2019 are the same. Beluga whales make a large number of unique and complex calls when attempting to locate each other.<\/p>\n
Brand new research from Ocean Wise, indicates that the reason why there are so many different \u2018contact calls\u2019 is because each different call is used to identify and contact distinct individuals – similar to how each human being has its own individual name!<\/p>\n
Come and learn about this cutting edge science and how the data on wild beluga calls was actually collected.<\/p>\n
