Here's what makes Beluga whale sounds unique:
* Clicks and whistles: These are the most common sounds they make, used for echolocation (navigating and finding food) and communication.
* Whistles: These can be high-pitched and melodic, often used in social interactions.
* Clicks: These are short, sharp sounds, used for echolocation and sometimes for communication.
* Other sounds: Belugas also make a variety of other sounds, including squeaks, moans, growls, and even bird-like calls.
It's fascinating to note that Belugas can change the shape of their head by inflating their nasal sacs, which allows them to produce different types of sounds. This makes their vocalizations even more varied and complex.
