Luna, a wild whale, tries to communicate with humans a bit, well, creatively.

- Research shows that orcas use whistles and clicks to communicate with their own species, but Luna, a baby orca who lost his family and tried to make friends with people near Vancouver Island, seemed to think humans might not be smart enough to understand that, so he tried other things that maybe he thought would get through. He certainly got our attention. www.savingluna.com

Listening it sounds like hes mimicking the boats trying to communicate. Footage of Luna makes me sad because from what i know he was just a baby and separated from his family so he easily could have mistaken boats for other creatures. I imagine he was very lonely and desperate for interaction. Maybe he mistook the sounds of boats for human communication. As a creature I know to be highly social videos of Luna make me imagine how desperately lonely he must have been like a child desperately trying to communicate in a foreign land where no one understands him. I'm sure people will warn me against anthropomorphising a wild creature but what I know of orcas i know they are highly social and highly intelligent and have strong family ties so it is not a far leap to imagine the loneliness a resident orca like Luna must have felt. No wonder he sought to communicate with the nearest intelligent animals he could find. Such a sad story.
I think he was just having fun pretending to be a boat. Orcas are way smarter than that, he certainly knows the boat isn't actually alive.
Stupid comment
its literally the only sound it can make lol
Maybe he wanted them to turn it on lol
sounds like his is trying to immitate the boat motor LOL
Hi man

How cute he was! Poor Luna he died by a propeller :(
Oh man.
I've only seen these UA-cam videos, what's the deal? Did Luna at least find a good place for itself before dying?
Sounds like an engine of a boat bless luna ❤
Dude he sounds like he’s farting 😂
He sounds like a motor boat! haha
Luna est vraiment drôle! Super la vidéo!
Have you ever found Luna corpse? To make it a worthy funeral?
This sounds scares my heart😨
How is he able to do that, sounds like farts but he's definitely communicating since boats are a common thing when these animals interact with us. So cute ?
I think it sounds like that under water.
Human thinks they are intelligent creatures and have the rights to destroy the nature. We have become very selfish.
It is very nice
👏👏👏👏💖🐳😢 ...
hahhahhaahahaha Mimicking the boat's motor, just brilliant!!!
Ahhh he's motor boating the human
Definitely tryna say put the boat on
So why didn't they just play back a bunch of orca songs back to it or something?
that's what i thought too! hahaha
Average Joe Public here, I have never heard that range or duration from any mammal, with exception of a human, what I'm hearing is as if I'm say free diving some meters below surface and a water craft w single outboard motor w throttle open passing over head or close by. Luna is communicating with one of her strongest senses, hearing, we flood her space w the very same sound she producing in close proximity or she was bloody well touching the outboard when she was making the sound and she backed away from it. We ask children show me where you are hurting and usually they point or touch area along with a sound or facial expression or body posturing. Net has thousands of instances where animals who ordinarily would avoid or we would not want to contact with come to us with their belly up and if we're not so absorbed in ourselves we see that there's an injury hook a line whatever that they need our help with that's communication. Hubris not a good thing.
I’m surprised seaworld didn’t try to take it
wowowowowoowowowowowow
id say he was copying the noise alright
Sounds like motorboats and farts
@happysomeday09 Yea, you seem pretty smart too buddy
Hey I want meet Luna!! How where I can come to island?
Unfortunately Luna died in 2007. He was hit by a propeller and didn't survive. There were accusations that the driver of the boat deliberately hit him because Luna was messing with the fishing and logging boats to the point of being a nuisance. However, there wasn't enough evidence to suggest it, and Luna's death was determined to be an accident by the investigators and courts.
He died 🐋🙏🥺
i actually wasnt trying to offend. I was being a bit sarcastic, but none the less. Im sorry if i hurt ur feeling. (cyber hugs) feel better?
I think he is farting:)
This is proof that orcas like to eat beans. 🫘
