Meeting Dolphins: My Adventures in the Sea

Kathleen Dudzinski, a marine researcher, recounts her worldwide adventures swimming with dolphin pods while trying to decode how the animals communicate. She watches their gestures, sounds, and behaviors observing mothers teaching calves to hunt and groups coordinating movements to uncover patterns in dolphin "language." Dudzinski also develops an underwater listening device that lets her pinpoint which dolphin is vocalizing, revealing the complexity of their social interactions. The narrative follows her as she navigates the challenges of studying wild creatures in their ocean home, offering a real-world look at the science of dolphin communication.
