ANIMAL COMMUNICATION: WHALES VS ELEPHANTS

Unlike humans, animals do not have a complex language system, but they do in fact have their own means of communication. Their main purpose is for survival and some may not even be aware they are doing it. The two mammals I chose to compare are whales and elephants and their reasons for communicating and channels of communication. Some reasons for communicating may include procreation, dominance and territorial rights, food, and alarms. Channels of communication can include tactile, chemical, visual, acoustic, and electric. Elephant communication mostly intraspecific while whale communication can be interspecific because dolphins can sometimes understand their signals.

Reasons for communication

When looking for a mate, a male humpback whale proves he is fit by “singing”. This type of communication is called “whale songs” because the sounds they make have melodies similar to human music. “The songs of humpback whales can be between five and 30 minutes long (Bright 3000).” (Kirtley 176). Breaching is also sometimes used to show affection. Besides trying to find a mate, sperm whales
