Advancements in Communication with Animals
Researchers are making progress in translating animal calls and sounds into human language. In the next few years, scientists believe they will be able to achieve two-way communication with animals by creating synthetic versions of whales, birds, and other creatures. For example, they have been able to decode the Morse code-like clicks of sperm whales and decipher the communication between young whale calves. These advancements have sparked curiosity about what animals have to share with each other through their vocalizations.
