If this is true, it's a historic breakthrough.


Is it really? They are randomly replaying captured whump calls. It's communication of sorts and is interesting+ facilitates further research, but it leaves more to be desired. I was hoping for some transfer of information/meaning/intention.

For example how different is this compared to soliciting wolf howls from human Wolf howls etc?


SETI first contact with a whale


I wonder if there are whale comedians, I bet their comedy would be pretty dark.


Fast rowing!

Harpoon!

Remembering the bad old days.


SeaQuest... Soon...
