Dolphins can call each other's names

The team at the University of St Andrews in Scotland found more evidence that dolphins know to use their own signals to report and receive feedback to individuals in the herd.

>>>Dolphins "call" each other by whistling

Dr. Vincent Janik of Andrews Marine Mammal Research Unit explained that dolphins live in offshore, offshore environments and in 3D space, there are more dangers than other terrestrial mammals. . He said: 'This animal lives in an environment where it is necessary to have an effective communication system.'

It has long been questioned that dolphins have different hissing sounds, in the same way that humans use names to communicate. Previous studies have found that these calls are more often used and group dolphins can learn and mimic the noises they don't often use.

The new study shows for the first time that the animal reacts when called 'name' by a fellow. To investigate, the scientists recorded a squeak that carried the signal of a group of dolphins and played back through an underwater loudspeaker. They found that only individual individuals responded to its own squeak and hissed to answer.

Dr. Janik said that this skill helps dolphins attach together with herds in a very wide underwater environment. Because most of the time, they can't see each other, can't smell in the water environment and there's no nest or cave to hide like terrestrial animals, so they get the same "name-calling skills" like human to compensate.
