New York, USA (Discover): According to the Dolphin Communication Project, dolphins certainly communicate—they convey information using a variety of kinds of physical contact, visual signals, and sounds, such as “whistles, creaks, chuffs, screams, squawks, pops, and chirps.” Using these signals, they can communicate information about their reproductive state, age, and gender, and even their emotional state. But while scientists acknowledge that dolphins have a complicated communication system, there’s no evidence that they have a language—at least the way humans define it.
