#Spermwhales change ‘vowel’ sounds when #boats are nearby, scientists discover
Researchers from Project #Ceti, a non-profit research organisation working to decode #spermwhale communication, spent four years tuning in on the calls of 15 sperm whales off the coast of Dominica.
They discovered specific differences in sperm #whale “codas”, the discrete and distinctive patterns of clicks that this species utters to communicate when those whales encountered shipping.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦈✈️ On August 16, 2026, #NewEngland #Aquarium scientists flying over the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument logged more than 2,000 #animals across 15 species southeast of #CapeCod.

The count included 11 #whale #sharks, some 1,800 #dolphins, an endangered #spermwhale, and a #humpback. Researchers called the #diversity a marker of #habitat value, noting recent #policy changes now allow commercial #fishing there.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🦑 At the American Museum of Natural History, a glass-free sperm #whale and giant squid #diorama mimics the dark deep #ocean.

Maintenance specialist Janet Spiller spends hours cleaning it with a backpack vacuum and fiber pole attachments. The #exhibit draws on real evidence like sucker marks on whale skin and #squid beaks to depict a dramatic #predator-prey battle.
