Dolphins at sea greet each other
Bottlenose dolphins swap signature whistles with each other when they meet in the open sea, a new study reports, suggesting that these marine mammals engage in something akin to a human conversation.
Earlier research found that signature whistles are unique for each dolphin, with the marine mammals essentially naming themselves and communicating other basic information.
World’s First Iridescent Mammal Discovered
The fur of golden moles has multiple layers that act as reflectors similar to the “eye shine” of nocturnal mammals.
Optical modeling suggests that the multiple layers act as reflectors that produce color through interference with light. The sensitivity of this mechanism to slight changes in layer thickness and number explains color variability.
