Zoology
English term or phrase: staccato
Hawaiian and West Indian whales seem less unhappy to me that the whales off the coast of New England. Their songs are playful, staccato, lively. Violins, rather than oboes.

прерывистые


Explanation:
Я бы сказал так, поскольку речь идет, как я понял, о продолжительном "пении". А "отрывистый" - это, скорее, об единичном резко обрывающемся звуке (по крайней мере, я так воспринимаю).
Или, скажем, "перемежающиеся". Но лучше прерывистые.
