"They found the mammals were able to increase the volume of their calls used for short distances, but long-distance calling was more challenging, according to their recently published study."

En el día de mi cumpleaños os dejo una familia de calderones o ballenas piloto.

Estos delfines forman enormes grupos familiares, tan grandes que ni las orcas se atreven con ellos.

Prefer to see these from a distance out at sea, not often you see them close up - RIP ( all the right people aware ) #isleoflewis #pilotwhale

“Both low-frequency and particularly two-component calls were produced at relatively high output levels in general....This is important since those are long-distance call types they likely use for ensuring group cohesion and finding each other after separations.”

Long-finned #pilotwhale #whalestranding update from Onetahua / Farewell Spit in Aotearoa #newzealand: Project Jonah, Dept of Conservation & the Mohua / Golden Bay community have been hard at work for 3 days, unsuccessfully refloating #whales 4x. Hopefully, they got into deep enough water now 🐋🤞🐳

Un hermoso ejemplar de calderón común (Globicephala melas) que inmortalicé hace ya unos años en el Estrecho de Gibraltar.

An awesome pilot whale (Globicephala melas) which I pictured in the Strait of Gibraltar many years ago.

✨ Door 21 — Pilot Whale
Highly social and intelligent, pilot whales live in tight-knit family groups and are occasional visitors to UK waters. Spotting them is always a special treat on surveys.

"The team attached suction-cup recorders to the backs of 23 individuals....They found that pilot whales were able to adjust to the noise pollution for two types of calls, the high-frequency and short-pulsed calls, by simply raising their voices."

40 Pilot Whales stranded in New Zealand and four have died. The deceased whales were three adults and a calf.
Below is the meteor event for the 17th. VLF Rdio Waves would be very pronounced.
