For The First Time Scientists Replicate Image Of How Dolphins See Humans
Do you know that dolphins are able to see people? Yes, you will be surprised to know that they can see divers diving along them. For the first time scientists have been able to replicate what dolphin saw when being encountered by a male diver. They released the images of ‘what the dolphin saw’ that reveals that dolphin echolocation results in fairly detailed images. The findings seem to be interesting as it shows how dolphins see their nearby divers and they share such images with each other in what is previously known as marine mammal language.
Out of two images released by scientists, first shows the original CymaScope image and the other one is the computer enhanced version of the original images, which has been dubbed as ‘what the dolphin saw’. Jack Kassewitz, research team leader, said their team is speechless with their recent findings. He said that they can now speculate with confidence that dolphins may employ a 'sono-pictorial' form of language that they share with each other.
During the research which took place at the Dolphin Discovery Center in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico, Kassewitz had colleague Jim McDonough submerge himself in front of the female dolphin "Amaya" in a research pool at the center. McDonough wore a weight belt and exhaled most of the air in his lungs to overcome his natural buoyancy. McDonough used high specification audio equipment to record the signal, which was being handled by team members Alex Green and Toni Saul at the backend.

A little creepy but cool. We must look so alien to them compared to other creatures they encounter in the ocean. What I really find incredible, however, is that they have been able do naturally for millions of years what we have only been able to do with our most advanced electronics for only the past few decades or so, and they're echolocation abilities are still far more compact and effective. What amazing beings they are.
