Whistle, Click & Splash | How Dolphins Stay in Touch and Find Their Way

◷ 2:42

Bubble loses sight of the pod in a murky bay but recognizes his mother’s signature whistle. He then sends quick clicks and listens to their echoes to find a wide passage. This upbeat children’s song introduces bottlenose dolphin contact whistles, echolocation, and attention-getting body movements.

Text from the recording’s subtitles.

Song lyrics
Wer blitzt in dieser trüben Türkisbucht? Bläschen, ein junger Großer Tümmler Er zieht mit Mama Welle und der Gruppe Dichtes Seegras nimmt ihm kurz die Sicht An seiner Schnauze glänzen kleine Blasen Welles eigner Pfiff klingt durch das Seegras Bläschen erkennt ihn und pfeift zurück Wenn sie sich nicht sehn, trägt der Pfiff so weit So bleiben die Delfine in Kontakt Jeder Große Tümmler hat seinen Pfiff Bläschen weiß: Mama ist ganz nah Vor Bläschen ragen dunkle Felsen auf Er sendet schnelle Klicks und lauscht dem Echo Die nahe Wand wirft es sofort zurück Vom fernen Fels kommt es ein wenig später Echoortung zeigt ihm den breiten Durchgang Wenn sie sich nicht sehn, trägt der Pfiff so weit So bleiben die Delfine in Kontakt Jeder Große Tümmler hat seinen Pfiff Bläschen weiß: Mama ist ganz nah Welle schlägt mit dem Schwanz aufs Wasser Der laute Platsch macht alle aufmerksam Die Gruppe dreht ab, schwimmt durch den Bogen Wenn sie sich nicht sehn, trägt der Pfiff so weit So bleiben die Delfine in Kontakt Jeder Große Tümmler hat seinen Pfiff Bläschen weiß: Mama ist ganz nah Hinterm Steinbogen sind alle vereint
Language version lyrics
What flashes through the turquoise murk? It’s Bubble, a young bottlenose dolphin He swims with Mother Wave and all the pod The swaying seagrass hides them from his sight Small silver bubbles sparkle by his snout Wave’s familiar whistle threads through the grass Bubble knows it’s hers and whistles back Out of sight, a whistle travels far It keeps the dolphins all in contact Each bottlenose has a special whistle Bubble knows his mother is nearby Dark rocks rise ahead of Bubble He sends quick clicks, then listens for echoes The nearby wall sends echoes back at once From farther rock, they reach him later Echolocation helps him find the wide gap Out of sight, a whistle travels far It keeps the dolphins all in contact Each bottlenose has a special whistle Bubble knows his mother is nearby Wave slaps the water with her tail The sudden splash catches the pod’s attention They turn and swim together through the arch Out of sight, a whistle travels far It keeps the dolphins all in contact Each bottlenose has a special whistle Bubble knows his mother is nearby Beyond the stone arch, they meet once more
