Every time I read about a scientist trying to talk to whales, I get excited, and I think every time that scientists are getting significant closer and this time interspecies communication might actually work.
I feel the same way about this experiment.
Thanks for sharing
You're very welcome! It certainly is very exciting, it would just be the coolest thing ever to cary on conversation with another species!
I had no idea before reading this that the journalist was actually there for the recent birthing(first time a sperm whale birth was caught on camera if I'm not mistaken). There's some cool video of the whales working together to hold the baby above water right after its born. Here's the post with the videos and pics incase you missed it.
Oh I read the article last night, but didn't see any videos or pictures, just New Yorker cartoons. Are there article-related videos and pictures in that article?
This newyorker post we are in now has no videos or images of it, but 3 days ago I made a post of an article that was just about CETI happening to be there for the birthing and that article has videos and images. That is the post that I just linked in my last comment. They must have more footage as well, so I'm hoping they release it!
Oh MaN that's some crazy footage, that must be the best job.
I can't believe how clear the drone footage is that you can see them carrying the baby, that's amazing!
Yeah, seriously! I'd love to go down to Dominica just to volunteer with them for a bit.
Whhhooooaaaaa is that an option?
Haha. No, not that I've heard of, just dreaming, couldn't hurt to ask though.
I just looked around some, it seems like they are looking for coders, but, unfortunately, I didn't find anything about physically coming to help out. Still couldn't hurt to ask them though, I don't think they are a huge organization.

Oh very cool, thank you, I'll definitely check that out right away
I've seen it around lately, but had no idea that it was related to this stuff, thanks for saying it!
Wait.. Wrong movie, have to look it up at home..
i mean, you can talk to anything if you want to…
Ha, yeah, I suppose it could have been "Can We Talk With Whales?"
