7/7 and the authors propose that the western dialect represents the ancestral form of communication within this clan, whereas the eastern dialect is a more recent modification of those codas. This would explain why sperm whales in Greece use both forms.

Still the same clan, but with a new dialect.

"Sleeping beauties

Some shots deserve their own spotlight on the grid. This was the first time and best time I have seen sperm whales underwater. I was so lucky to see them sleeping (that’s why they are vertically in the water).

I don't mind at all. I used a Nikon D750 and a 20mm Nikkor lens. It was contained in Ikelite housing. It does great underwater.

This is an #underwater #scape. It was made in a spring that no longer allows snorkeling so that the underwater vegetation is preserved. I agree with that decision but sure miss swimming in this spring. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #springs #underwaterphotography #ikelite
