Scientists expect to be chatting with dolphins this summer after researchers developed a computer program that analyses dolphin whistles and translates them into English.
Dolphins are sociable animals with large brains. They demonstrate self-awareness and use tools such as sponges to hunt for food. Each dolphin makes a signature whistle and they also use tight bursts of eco-location clicking noises to communicate.
