Honestly some of the most exciting research I've heard about in quite some time!

Awesome research! Congratulations

Very interesting and groundbreaking research, thanks for being so transparent with the public!

The extra click is from the Canadian whales "A". Listen carefully and you can hear them humming Gordon Lightfoot.

Also " okay flipper tell me where the oil is" lol

Awesome job amazing but try to see if you can make the data open source as possible so people can create alarms for whales to get the hell out of the way when a boat's coming by in 6 years

Super exciting research. Whales have been around as long as us so I wouldn't be surprised if they have actual language. These creatures stay in tight groups their entire lives and have lots of down time to talk.

I belive whales are a lot older than us, homo sapiens and even older than any other homo
