U.S. scientists report whale making human-like voice sounds

Well a "White whale" is more a porpoise than a "whale" and the intelligence level of the smnaller detaceans has always been kn owb to be relatibely high compared to he larger ones. That said even a parrot will make unmistakable "human sounds".

Yeah, but it's novel nonetheless.

The whale, named NOC, died five years ago

If you listen carefully you can hear him saying "guys, I'm not joking, I feel really bad".

I listened and I swear it said "So long and thanks for all the fish". Time to find your towel.

It will be great when whales start b****ing us out for taking too many fish and demanding better enclosures, temperature adjustments in captivity.
