  • This clip includes rarely-heard, really inorganic underwater sounds of the Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) swimming below the ice in Antarctica.
    From Werner Herzog's 2007 documentary, "Encounters at the End of the World." Film-maker Werner Herzog travels to the McMurdo Station in Antarctica, looking to capture the continent's beauty and investigate the characters living there.
    This video has proper, synced subtitles!
    I thank Ultimate Outsider ( / @outsidersupreme ) for allowing me to also upload a copy of this beautiful sounds.

    I wonder how they make all those sounds without releasing any air. Somehow they're making the sounds within their own heads?

    • @TenorCantusFirmus
      @TenorCantusFirmus 2 роки тому +6

      They probably are using their windpipe as a resonator and then water as a transmitter and amplifier.

    • @mh605
      @mh605 2 роки тому +2

      @@TenorCantusFirmus My point was that they're not expelling any air. They need to hold their breaths. So they must be making the sounds within their heads, not using a voice box which requires air to be flowing over it to make a sound.

      You can sort of make strange squealing sounds by sucking air through your teeth. Like calling a cat but slower and with more saliva. Maybe they do something like that underwater.
