Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about？ With the development of AI， we may be able to understand their languages！ All around the animal kingdom， there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and decipher. Elephants， for example， talk with each other using infrasound—far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesnt have any ears！

After the sounds are recorded， AI can study their meaning. For example， Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats 15，000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about three things： food， sleep positions and invasion of personal space.

Hippos fire a tornado of poo to tell other hippos about their territory. Sperm whales use clicking sounds to talk with each other. Asiatic wild dogs whistle to coordinate attacks on other animals much larger than them.

你有沒有想過動(dòng)物們平時(shí)都在聊些什么？隨著人工智能技術(shù)的發(fā)展，我們也許能夠聽懂它們的語(yǔ)言！在動(dòng)物王國(guó)里，有很多我們很難聽到和破譯的聲音。大象用遠(yuǎn)低于人類聽覺范圍的次聲波交流。海里的珊瑚通過發(fā)出聲波吸引珊瑚寶寶到安全的地方去生長(zhǎng)，神奇的是：珊瑚是沒有耳朵的！

這些聲音被記錄后，人工智能技術(shù)就可以研究它們的含義。舉個(gè)例子：以色列的研究人員借助人工智能技術(shù)翻譯了15 000種蝙蝠的聲音，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)超過60%的聲音與食物、睡姿、侵犯領(lǐng)地的爭(zhēng)吵有關(guān)。

河馬捍衛(wèi)領(lǐng)地的時(shí)候，會(huì)用“粑粑龍卷風(fēng)”嚇跑同類。抹香鯨通過“咔嗒”聲與同類溝通。亞洲野狗通過哨聲召喚同伴，協(xié)同攻擊體型比它們大很多的動(dòng)物。
