Talking whales?!?!

Quick! Name an animal that can mimic human speech. ... You said parrot didn't you? Almost everyone does, but did you know that Beluga whales can do it too?

Listen for yourself

Ok, so it's not exactly talking. He's not saying real words, but it is several octaves lower than normal whale vocalizations. Apparently he managed to do that by over filling his air sacs, making his head even bulgier than usual while he was "talking."

Noc (pronounced: no-see) the whale that you heard in the link above, would even tell divers to leave his tank by repeating a word that sounded like "out" over and over. Researchers say that it is unlikely that Noc understood what he was saying, but they built him a special underwater microphone to record this unusual vocalization and they have been studying him since 1984 when Noc was first heard "talking." The results of that research were released last Monday.
