Underwater creatures were very hard to communicate and understand with but recent studies revealed its new enhance discovery. Advance Dive Behaviour device can help scientist broaden their knowledge on Whales ecology between other creatures under water and with the prey.

The scientist put an "ADB" tag on Whale that was able to gather information in an unknown way. According to Digital Trends, the tag that carries with the Whale will start to collect data's that depends on its motion, domain, temperature, and water depth.

Meanwhile, on the foregoing investigation of the scientist, ADB was able to gather information that can last up to seven weeks at a time. While the previous technology could manage for countless days only compared to the latest version.

According to Science Daily, a researcher could now determine the whale's reaction upon the noises undersea causes by passing ships, seismic exploration and how they response to changes of water temperature. International Association of Oil, Gas Producers, U.S Navy and Naval Research has been corroborating the study.

Endowed Chair and director of OSU's Marine Mammal Institute in the College of Agricultural Sciences, Bruce Mate says on how the research go well and advance their learning about the Whale's life. Bruce with his co-authors Ladd Irvine and Daniel Palacios published the paper of research last week and concluded that Whale is more than an experimental object but turn into colleagues also.

The co-author of the study, Daniel Palacios said that the tag they are using with three different class will help them elaborate the full extent of each species performance. He also added that sperm whales like to dive deep and capable of staying down for a long time.

In the other hand, baleen whales are more likely to be feed more in one area during summer season because they will later move to a place when the prey mass is getting lower.
