Whatever is going on among orcas and their vocalizations (and we don’t really have a clear understanding of this at all) the one thing that is self-evident is that this is their primary means of communicating with each other. What they are communicating and how remain grand mysteries. It is probably the most tantalizing aspect of what we know, and don’t know, about killer whales, because if orcas are actually conceptualizing abstract ideas at a high level, and perhaps even retaining long-term intergenerational memories, if these communications really are a language, then the
Orcas language lon term intergenerational
