00:00Scientists can now track sperm whales in real time and listen to them communicate over long distances.
00:07Researchers from Project SETI have deployed a drone that follows the whales using their sounds.
00:13Using the underwater glider, they say they're able to follow the animals over long distances.
00:18This was previously difficult because of the animals' range and ability to dive 1.6 kilometres.
00:24The project hopes to gather data on the sounds they make, including those of baby whales learning to communicate.
00:31They say this is a major step in advancing knowledge of how non-human life forms communicate.
00:38The idea would be that once we could kind of really understand the fundamentals of a non-human communication system,
00:47this could then expand into elephants and plants and fungus.
00:52So there's a lot of amazing work across the non-human communication area.
01:00The study could also help scientists understand how human-made noise at sea affects whales and their communication.
