# Animal Culture Observatory - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `animalculture.org` ## Description Animal Culture Observatory is an organization dedicated to exploring and sharing the learned behaviors, communication, and traditions found across animal species. It highlights how songs, tool use, foraging methods, and other social practices can spread within communities and persist across generations. The Observatory brings together research, tools, and media to make this often-overlooked world easier to investigate and understand. Its work spans scientific research, creative projects, and open-source resources. Chatter is an open-source tool for exploring animal communication, while the Observatory’s research examines subjects such as the evolution of whale and human vocal cultures. Its creative work includes Alakaʻi 1777, an immersive audiovisual installation that evokes fragments of the lost song culture of the extinct Kauaʻi ʻōʻō. The site also presents milestones in animal-culture science, from birds learning to open milk bottles to chimpanzees using tools and whales sharing evolving songs. By drawing on advances in artificial intelligence and communicating research through media and press features, Animal Culture Observatory aims to expand how people study and appreciate animal cultures. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Biology _(under Science and Education)_ ## Links - [instagram](https://instagram.com/animalcultureorg) - [linkedin](https://linkedin.com/company/animal-culture-observatory) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG, SVG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idzOt6DG4V/w/820/h/189/theme/light/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1793384788473) - icon _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idzOt6DG4V/w/100/h/100/theme/dark/icon.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1793384788634) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Ceramic | #fdfff7 | accent | | Log Cabin | #1c1c17 | dark | | Governor Bay | #2b49b2 | light | ## Fonts - Arial — asset _(custom)_ - Arial — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
