“Singing Whales, Deep-Rumbling Elephants: What Their Sounds Reveal about their Minds”

In this public lecture, bioacoustics researcher Katy Payne, founder of the Elephant Listening Project, spoke about large mammal communication. With sound and video, the presentation illustrated Payne’s research into the acoustic behavior of elephants and whales, who use sound in a variety of ways to support their complex, far-flung societies.
