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

◷ 2:50

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
Quem cruza a baía turva e azul? É Bolha, um golfinho-nariz-de-garrafa Nada com a mãe Onda e com o grupo A relva esconde o grupo por um instante Perto do focinho brilham bolhinhas Pela relva vem o assobio de Onda Bolha reconhece e assobia de volta Sem se enxergar, o assobio vai longe E mantém os golfinhos em contato Cada nariz-de-garrafa tem o seu Bolha sabe: sua mãe está por perto Rochas escuras surgem diante de Bolha Ele manda cliques e escuta os ecos A parede próxima responde depressa A rocha distante devolve mais tarde Com ecolocalização, acha o vão largo Sem se enxergar, o assobio vai longe E mantém os golfinhos em contato Cada nariz-de-garrafa tem o seu Bolha sabe: sua mãe está por perto Onda bate a cauda na superfície O esguicho chama a atenção do grupo Eles viram e atravessam o arco Sem se enxergar, o assobio vai longe E mantém os golfinhos em contato Cada nariz-de-garrafa tem o seu Bolha sabe: sua mãe está por perto Depois do arco, o grupo se reúne
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
