Marine biologists are inching closer to understanding the ins and outs of sperm whale communication. But in order to decode what the cetaceans are saying, they must first need to find them and ...

Tracking sperm whales is not easy because of their life patterns. Project CETI, which aims to decode their communication, relies on reinforcement learning. The novel framework described in the ...

According to scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), sperm whales frequent the deep waters around Monterey Bay much more than previously thought. The researchers ...

This is no easy feat, since sperm whales can dive over 10,000 feet andstay way below the surface for up to 60 minutes. Their habitats themselves stretch for thousands of miles.

Few people sight the cryptic creatures swimming in Monterey Bay, but sonorous sperm whales abound if you listen. The chatter of undersea creatures fills the soundscape, and the clicks of sperm ...

Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) can reach 16 meters (52 feet) in length and weigh up to 41 metric tons (45 tons).

Population decline: Between 2009 and 2015, the population of sperm whales in the central Gulf of California ranged between 20 and 167 individuals, with a total "super population" of 354 whales ...

Five sperm whales found stranded on Marshall Bay Beach on Flinders Island have all died, officials have confirmed, despite efforts to save two overnight. Whale strandings are not uncommon in ...

Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) aims to collect millions to billions of high-quality, highly contextualized vocalizations in order to understand how sperm whales communicate.

Engineers at Harvard University have used drones and a ‘reinforcement learning network’ to predict where sperm whales will surface and listen in on their conversations. A pod of sperm whales ...
