    The Boy in the Submarine - Episode 12: Talking to Whales
    Jun 4 2024
    "We played a sound that we think means 'Hello' to the [humpback whale named] Twain... and Twain said 'Hello' back!" Owen Today we are updating two of our episodes with follow-up information. Both about how intelligent whales really are, because we are getting closer and closer to talking to them. In 2021 a team of marine biologists including Josie Hubbard approached a humpback whale that marine biologists have nicknamed Twain, and played a recording that they believed was a greeting, like "hello". Twain answered with the same sound back, not once, but many times over a half an hour, seemingly as excited to talk to us as we were to talk with him. Here's an article my dad shared with me! But earlier this month, using computers, marine biologists working with Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) identified recognizable repeated patterns in sperm whale clicking that are used like an alphabet or words over and over again. We might soon be able to use computers to figure out what they are talking about! This is the last episode of season 1 of Boy in the Submarine, and I have really enjoyed creating this for my friends and family, and all you listeners out there. Let me know if there are things you would like me to learn about sea creatures to give me ideas for a season 2 some time soon!

    Boy in the Submarine - Episode 11: Humpback Whales
    May 28 2024
    Humpback Whales have beautiful voices, and are the great musicians of the sea. Each family has their own special song, and each individual whale has a song of its own based on it, just like a personal name! They also make up new songs for both fun and communication. If a whale makes up a particularly catchy tune, the whole ocean of Humpbacks can pick it up and start singing it.

    The Boy in the Submarine - Episode 10: Orca
    May 21 2024
    Orca are really smart! They can be taught to do tricks like sing songs and count, if they are trained well! Owen Orca, sometimes called "Killer Whales" are a really large Dolphin: they are one of the Oceans' apex predators. They work in packs to take down large prey. Humans have trained them to do all kinds of amazing things, because Orca love to learn. Family is very important to Orcas. Every family has its own patterns and markings, and they often come up with new tricks, games, and even fashions that they will keep repeating for years just for fun. These can be as weird as funny backwards swimming and wearing dead fish as hats, to the frightening, such as tipping sailboats. But they don't mean to hurt people: they are curious about us, and sometimes cause trouble by accident.
