Penguins also 'talk' underwater, research

South Africa: At least three species of beautiful aquatic birds, penguins, have been revealed that they talk to each other even in the depths of the water, but 50% of their different voices can be related to hunting or food issues.


We know that penguins are extraordinary and intriguing, with their ability to dive, and can go from 20 to 500 meters deep and hunt for fish, curls or squids.

Experts want to know if these animals emit sound even underwater? In this regard, Nelson Mandela University of South Africa has done some experiments and made videos. He has researched King Penguin, Ganto Penguin and Macaroni Penguin in this regard.


Scientists have created 203 video clips in the depths of the ocean for five consecutive hours. Of these 34 videos have been made by King Penguin, one for Macaroni Penguin and 168 for Ganto Penguin.

King Penguin can go up to 200 meters deep and hunt for fish. The macaroni penguin, on the other hand, can dive a maximum of 10 meters and hunt small shrubs and curls on its sides.

Experts note that the three types of penguins emit 73 percent of the sounds when they are diving downward and at the same time they hunt. Often voices emit when they are hunched over by the victim.

50% of the voices were related to the hunting of these animals, and as the penguins moved toward the prey, their voices continued to increase. But do these voices attract other penguins? And can they be termed as things?
