Smart Whales

[Mr.X]

Here's some interesting news on how whales zero in on boat noises to snatch some fish.

It's a good thing they don't do this where hunting is still allowed. X

Nice article, Mr.X.

My favorite bits:

Funny -> “We try to get creative, but there’s only so much you can do,” Fish said.

Say it fast -> "Steve Fish of Sitka, who has fished for sablefish"

And the essence of it:

"...many believe the large-brained whales are just too smart." :14:

That's coming from people who interact with these creatures first hand on regular basis. It is time that the human race starts to value and acknowledge different forms of intelligence.

But that's just me - hey, I don't want this thread to turn into another "to whale or not to whale" soap opera.

Lets hear it for the whales.
