Whale song

Marine life that relies on sound to communicate is not a minority in the sea, but can be defined by scientists as "singing", the only wonderful animal in the world is the whale.

Whales will combine a variety of low-frequency sounds into a sentence of "musical sentences"; after a specific "musical phrase" is repeatedly sung, it will form a "main melody"; "main melody" can be composed into a whale song after being sung repeatedly. This is also similar in form to human ballads (and is also sung to favorite subjects). Whale Song is used for a wide range of purposes, in addition to courtship, it can also guide companions to safe routes, and can also be used to share where the buffet is the best (shrimp most). These songs will vary depending on the settlement to which they belong, and even if the tune of the same settlement is tunes, they will gradually sing different styles over time. So not all whales sing the same 10,000-year-old song.

Interestingly, when there is a chance to get close enough to hear each other, the whales also exchange songs that are unique to their respective settlements. In this way, super whale songs are occasionally revealed— some songs that cross the barriers of settlements and are widely sung among whales around the world.

The song of whales is said to have reached more than a thousand kilometers away. In other words, every whale is simply a personal radio station with half-earth listening range. Thinking about it, I was really worried about the whales, hoping that none of them could sing and be difficult to hear. ※Due to the noise interference caused by human activities in the ocean, the distance that the whale song can transmit is not as good as before.
