Can dolphins speak like people ?

Dolphins are some of the most playful and intelligent animals on our planet. They live and travel in groups called pods. Dolphins communicate through different sounds. Researchers at one of the Nature Reserves believe that these sounds are like the words and sentences people use to communicate. The researchers studied two Black Sea bottlenose dolphins, called Yasha and Yana. The dolphins lived in a swimming pool. The scientists noticed that one dolphin listened to the sounds that the other one was making and then replied. It looked like a conversation between two people.

The researchers found that Yasha and Yana could create sentences of up to five ‘words’. Scientists believe that dolphins use their language to identify themselves, have relations with other dolphins, and do things together.
