Arianna K. -- For 27 years, marine biologist Denise Herzing and colleagues have been regular visitors in the Atlantic Ocean home of a 200-member pod of spotted dolphin living north of the Bahama islands. Understand the relationships between the members of the pod is key to unraveling what their dozens of whistles, clicks and other signals mean. “The large goal of this project is to tell the story of what it's like to be a dolphin,” Herzing , a researcher with Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and the founder and head of the Wild Dolphin Project, told Discovery news. “There are times that they play games with us in the water,” Herzing said. “This particular group seems to be curious about us, probably because we're in the water analyzing them. Scientist are trying to teach dolphins to communicate with humans with curtain noises. Some scientist are using this to communicate with wild dolphins.
The purpose of the article is to inform people that dolphins and possibly other animals can communicate with one another and us. This can help us understand other animals and find a way to help preserve their habitats and maybe fix the ones humans destroyed. This is interesting because it shows that animals are capable of thinking and feeling. It also shows that animal experiments are wrong, if they can't do it on humans they shouldn't do it on other humans. The article should show more examples of the communication and more reasons it is useful.
