Dolphins off Wales use their own DAI-alect, say scientists.The 240 living in Cardigan Bay have developed different sounds from others around the British Isles.
Scientists analysed 1,882 noises from Irish Sea dolphins — and found those nearest Wales had a unique whistle.
The experts from University of Wales and the Shannon Dolphin Foundation in Ireland are now building a “dictionary” of meanings.
Project leader Dr Simon Berrow said: “We’re trying to associate whistle types with different behaviour — like foraging.”
