Like, ooh-doo-doo-doo-doo, you're so cute.

Something like that.

Yep, yep.

So, I mean, we don't know if it's really functioning in a similar way in any way, shape, or form with dolphins.

But it was pretty cool to find something, you know, that was similar in that way.

So those were slowed down.

Yes.

Those are slowed down to be able to tell the difference.

So the second one was the one when she was with her calf.

The first one was when she was not with her calf.

And so hopefully people could tell that the second one went up higher at the end.

Yeah.

And I did slow those down because otherwise it's actually pretty hard to tell at regular speed.

Our ears are not really that well tuned into those frequencies.

No, we do not know.

We have theories about it, but that's all they are.

And we really are not sure that we'll be able to answer that question either, to be honest, because it's pretty hard to really test hypotheses about why they might be doing that.

Is it hard to capture these sounds?

Not to capture the sounds themselves.

Although, well, I guess I should backtrack on that.
