Scientists may not be very far away from decoding the language of whales. An interdisciplinary group of scientists have started collecting data in order to use artificial intelligence (AI) to understand how whales communicate. The project has been named Cetacean Translation Initiative (CETI).

Scientists have outlined key elements needed for the processing of massive bio-acoustic data of sperm whales. Researchers say that the past decade witnessed a ground-breaking rise of machine learning for human language analysis, and recent research has shown the promise that such tools may also be used for analysing acoustic communication in nonhum...

The Italian coastguard has been working for days to free a massive sperm whale caught in an abandoned fishing net in open sea off the Sicilian Aeolian Islands.

Bundles of rope, plastic cups, bags, gloves and fishing nets are just some of the items found inside the stomach of a sperm whale that washed ashore on a beach in Scotland.
