whale calls

Submarine mammal vocalizations

Whale calls are the vocalizations produced by whales to communicate across ocean distances.

These sounds range from the complex, haunting songs of humpback whales to the clicks and whistles of other species.

Scientists study whale calls to understand social behavior, migration patterns, and population health: Researchers recorded whale calls to track the pod's movements.
