"Revealed, This is the Unique Way Turtles Communicate with Each Other"

"Over the last decade, scientists have discovered that turtles have a broader range of communication abilities than previously thought. Far from being silent and solitary reptiles, many turtle species appear to produce complex and social intra-specific communication. So, how do turtles actually communicate?"

"How Turtles Communicate: Acoustic Signals"

"Recently, biologists have believed that turtles are largely silent animals. They do not have vocal cords and therefore are unable to produce vocalizations in the true sense of the word. Nevertheless, they can generate a number of other acoustic signals."

A study published in 2022 revealed that at least 50 species of turtles are capable of producing various acoustic signals that were previously unknown to researchers. These sounds include whistles, hisses, grunts, groans, clicks, hisses, snorts, and even snores. Turtles produce these sounds through different mechanisms. When eating, some turtles will produce hissing and small grunting sounds.

The translation of "Jika Kura-Kura Merasa Terancam" to English is "If the Turtle Feels Threatened".

This animal will produce a hissing sound by pulling its head back into its shell and forcefully expelling air from its lungs.

A study in 2013 found that several species of freshwater turtles can communicate acoustically underwater. Researchers discovered that the Western Australia long-necked turtle (Chelodina colliei) can produce complex calls, generally within a frequency range below 1,000 Hertz. A similar phenomenon occurs in the species 'Podocnemis expansa', as a sound for information exchange between females that are laying eggs.

Facilitate Communication Underwater.

The 2009 research on the southwestern snake-necked turtle (Chelodina oblonga) recorded 17 vocalizations, including hisses, cheers, short chirps, long chirps, moans, roars, and percussion drum sounds. These sounds may facilitate communication underwater with other turtles, including during mating.

The translation of "Komunikasi Akustik Selama Bersarang Kelompok" to English is "Acoustic Communication During Group Nesting".

The research published in 2014 studied the acoustic communication of Amazon river turtles (Podocnemis expansa) during the nesting period of the group. This study was conducted from 2009 to 2011, recording six different types of sounds produced by female turtles during the nesting period.

These voices are categorized into the following five categories:

Their Voices Play a Unique Important Role.
The researchers found that these sounds likely play an important and unique role in synchronizing the social activities of female turtles during the nesting season to reduce predation, enhance the survival of hatchling turtles, and exchange information among laying females.

Many species of turtle hatchlings will synchronize hatching events, although scientists are still trying to understand the mechanisms behind this synchronization. Both in semi-aquatic turtles and sea turtles, researchers are trying to find out whether the sounds produced by the hatchlings help in the synchronization of hatching.

A study in 2019 recorded 4 types of repetitive sounds produced by turtle hatchlings up to 14 days before hatching from their eggs. Type I sounds are characterized by clear clicks, starting 11-14 days before hatching. The other three types of sounds begin less than 5 days before hatching and appear to indicate the movement of the turtle hatchlings. Type I click sounds increase in frequency as the turtle hatchlings approach the hatching date.

The translation of "Suara Anak Kura-Kura Tipe I" to English is "Type I Turtle Baby Sounds".

The researchers propose that the possibility of type I click sounds serves as a means of communication among the clutch and aids in coordinated hatching movements and emerging together.

The translation of "Komunikasi Akustik pada Kura-kura Laut" to English is "Acoustic Communication in Sea Turtles."

"Recently, marine biologists believed that non-hatchling sea turtles are almost silent or even mute. However, recent research has proven the ability of sea turtles to sense sound and produce vocalizations. A study published in 2022 documented 10 different sounds produced by 11 young green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) that were roaming freely."

The researchers found that turtles produce these sounds within the hearing range of other sea turtles (around 200-740 Hertz), indicating the ability for intraspecies communication. The hisses seem to have a unique signature for individuals, adding to the idea that at least some of the sounds function as communication.

to English is:

"Turtles also use visual communication to signal to other members of their species. During the mating process, females will blink repeatedly to show interest, and males will nod their heads up and down. Males will also spray water at females during the mating process."

Beberapa kura-kura, seperti 'Trachemys' juga lambaikan cakar depan mereka dan membuka rahang mereka untuk berkomunikasi mengenai agresi atau sikap defensif.

Some turtles, such as 'Trachemys', also wave their front claws and open their jaws to communicate about aggression or defensive attitudes.
