    You mean you too can overinflate your vestibular sack and combine harmonics from nasel exhilation? Wow.

    But seriously for a minute; just because our ears dont hear the same sound frequencies does not mean animals dont attempt communication. Body language also plays a huge role. Ive yet to be lucky enough to share a real close encounter like this... My whales / dolphins have all been from boats; either sailing or small dingies with conservation groups. Blue whales (St Lawrence River) through to Grey and Minke... But perhaps the larger cousins dont have much to say to humanity. Cant blame them really... weve not had much to say to them in the past except 'yummy'.

    Amazing... but start worrying if he says "So long, and thanks for all the fish".

    unfortunately Noc died 5 years ago. It's a bit shocking that it took them 5 years for them to release this. He was making these sounds when he was much younger.

    Oh thats sad - thanks for the update though. Typical for the BBC to be a bit late with their reporting.
