Gabriel Jorgewich-Cohen argues that although the species had been communicating with us for a long time, we had never stopped to pay attention to them.
He recorded the species, including turtles, as they communicated their desire to mate or hatch from the egg using microphones.
Mr. Jorgewich-Cohen, a PhD candidate at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, started his research on the theory that aquatic species might use sound to communicate.
53 species kept in captivity around the world, including Chester Zoo in England, were captured using sound and video equipment by the researcher.
50 turtles, a tuatara, a lungfish, and a caecilian were among the species.
Additionally, Mr. Jorgewich-Cohen captured tuataras making noises to defend their lands.
He then started to think about what the discovery told him about how noisy creatures evolved.
Since fossils frequently do not provide enough information about animals that lived millions of years ago, scientists instead compare the behaviour of species that are alive now.
