I met a whale once it was great, we clicked
-
I like land. Land is good.
-
This is literally click bait
-
Whale: “hello friend” Human: “OH MY GOD! EXISTENCE IS PAIN!”

Sperm whale clicking (200dB). Space shuttle launch (180dB). Pistol gunshot (140dB). Fighter jet take off (130 dB). Commercial airliner (118 dB). Nail gun(110 dB). Rock concert(105 - 114 dB). Every 3 decibels means the sound has doubled, since dB are logarithmic units.
-
To bad they can't destroy whaling ships with their clicks.
-
If you’re looking for intelligent life, forget mars. Just look in the ocean.
-
I've been on two trips snorkeling/free diving with sperm whales and believe me this guy isn't kidding...even at a distance you can feel the clicks going through your body I felt like my chest was being used as a giant door knocker
-
btw....180decibels is how loud a rocket launch is...holy crap
-
I thought sperm whales where just basic whales. Never knew they had a superpower.
-
I wonder if our talking blows out ants' eardrums
-
Do not forget that for a time they were hunted almost to extinction. And currently they are still threatened.
-
I hear that when they learn (and they can learn) that you're sensitive to their clicks they'll potentially quiet themselves down so they'll let you interact with them.
-
People are overestimating them - they’re just beatboxing
-
The fact they allow you in the water and come spend time with you is an honor. Totally awesome! The world is such an amazing place full of such beauty and amazing creatures.
-
whales must be protected always!
-
Props to the guys who risked their eardrums and lives for science!
-
The stuff about their brains, makes it that much more horrific thinking about the terrors man has inflicted over the years with commercial whaling. :( Getting killed slowly and knowing it...
-
All true. I used to be a Navy Sonar Tech and I know that the Sonar can injure or possibly kill if a diver is in close proximity. It makes sense that a powerful whales click could do the same.

Whale: HI HUMAN Diver: Oh my god! Too loud! Whale: at the same volume hi human
