Scientists once did an interesting study. They put a mother in one place. They put her two-year-old child in another place. There was a telephone line between them. Soon, the mother and child were talking to each other. The mother and child, in this science study. were dolphins.
Dolphins are interesting animals. Many types of dolphins live in large ties. They have many different relationships and need a good communication system That explains why they need to speak up.
Scientists have known for a long time that animals can "talk" with each other. But dolphins have a special way of talking When they are in a group, they mainly use different sounds to express purposes. Scientists believe that the dolphins really are talking. However, they don't know what exactly the dolphins are saying.
Recently at Kewalo University in Hawaii, researchers have had some amazing results. Not only do the dolphins understand the meaning of human words, they also understand the importance of word order. For example, when they were asked to "touch the ball with your tail and then jump over it", they could perform the actions in the correct order.
Dolphins use body language, too. They "tell" something to another dolphin by moving their body in a special way. They also do it by opening and closing their mouths quickly.
Scientists hope to understand more about the dolphin language. They still have a lot to find out about these animals and so there are certain to be a few surprises in the future.
