💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋⚓ Sperm whales near #Dominica shorten their click sequences and shift their vowel-like #sounds when #ships are present, according to researchers from #ProjectCETI and #UCBerkeley.

The team analyzed over 1,000 codas from 15 #whales over four years, finding that rhythm and click timing best predict nearby #vessels. The findings add to efforts to decode whale #language and understand how human noise affects #marine life.

#Whale #stranded on #Sydney beach 3 days ago to be tested for #BirdFlu.

A #newborn #humpback whale carcass will be tested for H5N1 bird flu as a precaution.

A member of the public had reported the stranded whale on #GreenHillsBeach in Cronulla about 6.30am on Friday by calling the Organisation for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans in Australia (ORRCA) hotline. (02) 9415 3333

A #juvenile #SouthernRightWhale was stranded in the #PeelHarveyEstuary, south of #Perth, for more than two weeks.

Onlookers have reported seeing #dolphins guide the #whale to the ocean's deeper water.

[uh huh. Sure they did] 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions says now the whale has shown it can escape the shallows, it's less concerned about it re-entering the waterway.
