Why do whales sing? - Stephanie Sardelis

[@Pizaerable]

When will whales release their music on iTunes?

[@alekseykonovalik5965]

Scumbag egoist whales don't want to share!

[@Norsketrutt]

They have their own application, called iWhale. It is extremly expensive and only affordable with Whale-currency

[@TheSunriseAnimation]

+Sigmund Trutt why!? they have the water that is transmitting their songs very far, and everyone can listen to them in some way!

[@Norsketrutt]

Lila_Kuh98 They will charge you for listening. it is counted as a rental and the prize increases exponentially with the time you spend listening

[@erickpeculiar823]

Pizaerable yasss❤️😂

[@Radicalsandwichanarchy]

Could you imagine being the person that studies whale songs. Must be an amazing job

[@thenovicenovelist]

I read in a fact book recently that a scientist had switched from analyzing land animals to whales decades ago. He was looking for a way to help save the whales. Then, one day, he met someone who said, "You know those whales sing, right?" The scientist had no idea, so the guy let him listen to some recordings. Long story short, the scientist decided to record their songs and release the songs to the public in order to encourage people to protect the whales.

[@Minji_Hanni_Dani_Haerin_Hyein]

Well, I think we don't have to imagine because James Cameron did it with Tulkun

[@arnavdixit1397]

@@thenovicenovelist Roger Payne, i believe

[@pratyushchow6724]

Never thought about sound pollution under water. Whales are so good.

[@itwasaliens]

Just imagine how Test Baker affected them. I imagine for some it was similar to the sound humans experienced with Krakatoa.

[@102allenwalker]

There sounds they make are so scary and terrifying and yet ...so beautiful and soothing at the same time it’s weird

[@adriancreates3086]

Probably one of the best TED-ed videos they've made

[@thegamingcat6852]

[@arksine]

How can one species- humans- manage to become the villains in almost every story?

[@biezarre]

because we are too greedy and so entitled to assume that humans are the most powerful, hence we can occupy it and use the mother nature as much as we want without thinking that other species aren't less important.

[@mrreyes5004]

Because we're the heroes of our own story - lowly tree-climbing beasts who advanced to overtake every top predator who once fed on us and spreading across the globe. No longer do giant birds eat hominids, it is hominids who take down large birds with the press of a trigger. No longer do big cats prey on humans, now big cats have to be saved _by_ humans _from_ other humans. No longer do fearsome sea creatures take down boats, it is boats who rake in fearsome sea creatures and turn them into fresh meals for more humans. It's easy to forget, but there was a time when lions, bears, sharks, hyenas, birds of prey and other now-endangered species were the "bad guys". The world was once our enemy... and, whether or not we admit it, an instinctive part that's stayed with us for millions of years has made sure we have *_not_* forgotten that.

[@prachurjyaghosh8454]

That's the one thing that makes us all versatile.

[@blackpyxy9583]

MrReyes 500 you write all this to make a point but it defeats your point at the same time. With our dominance and intelligence we should have been able to prevent this, we depend on the balance they bring. What animals do is survive not mass killing for decoration and sports. We are wasted intelligence. The world wasn’t our enemy, the world was every living beings enemy, we just decided to make it personal to feel better about ourselves. We are no damn Heroes.

[@jjutt87]

If whales ever go extinct, I'm officially done with people.

[@rabbit5000]

[@yuuh8341]

Ne0nZombie I don't want whales to go.. I love whales.. ♡

[@kagurapooh6030]

we will eventually die and have shorter lifespan

[@amberslahlize7961]

But whales aren't people. So you're already done with people.

[@farahahmed1850]

I would kill every single human alive or who killed them

[@justthisgirl1284]

The sound they make is beautiful and scary at the same time, I can't listen to it when I'm alone it gives me goosebumps and makes my body shiver...it's kinda creepy.

[@rachelnguyen7845]

This animation was amazing

[@minnowpanda304]

The geometric shapes as semi abstract conventional symbols were a nice touch instead of simple music 🎵 notes. Seemed to bring the discussion of the cognition and personality of large complex thinking of an animal. It even brings up the idea of what intelligence and sentience as a biological premise in difference from regular person with simple common sense of it's a blue whale and I'm a human being. To actually be able to discuss is a crazy way even including the extreme amount of actual backed data as an abstract reference of conventional thought and data. Makes an excellent argument and a fantastic way to better an understanding of the planet with physical and engineering applications as in technology and biological systems.

[@taegoogie3428]

This is beautiful and cute and frightening at the same time

[@allonononami4593]

This has nothing really to do with the video topic, but I like how the animator represent multiple types of sounds with different shapes, patterns or forms. Visualizing sound is hard, but this catched me off guard because most matched how I do it. Anyway, you won a sub.

[@DaLoopDiggerz]

Money doesn't care about whales survival. Sad times.

[@Kriegerdammerung]

Capitalism is humanity's doom

[@thehandlesticks66]

Capitalism has served its purpose as feudalism once did in the past. But it has become obviously antiquated since WWII , increasingly stifling progress, and investing in conflict for the sake of more profit.

[@Kriegerdammerung]

ThomasRocksU The burgoisity was a progessive "movement", group for humanity, they created machines and tools that helped a lot. But, in time they replaced the cadre of the system they once stood against, the earls, the lords, the kings )=

[@TheOswald42]

well, the money itself can't do anything, greed is the man behind the scene

[@Crispy_pata]

yeah

[@lancelotray]

I love how that in every video, the problems the we cause to these animals are mentioned, making the watchers aware of it..

[@Haburg]

reminds me of finding Nemo and Dory. I loved those movies

[@kyriesong1505]

This video's art concept reminds me of "Song of the sea" and I love it so much. You did an excellent job Boniato Studio :3

[@thebinlgbtisbabadook7832]

Yes! It was a very good film too.

[@nimsay5369]

Whales and all underwater creatures are just too beautiful . I hope we can find an alternative route to live harmoniously together without disturbing their ecosystem. And learn to respect their their home.

klotuur not true lots of our sunken warships drop to the bottom of the ocean, and the poles are even worse. The poles have melted so much that animals over there are dying and sea levels have risen.

The way they’re sings , their tone is why I feel sad

[@isurrendertoyou7498]

O my god why? I feel so happy like literally happy!!

[@Inevitable.Change]

And all I can think of is Dory and Destiny. Beautiful whale 🐳 songs.

Rose Blue Whale Sharks don't sing.

[@TheOtherNeutrino]

Rose Blue Destiny is a whale shark, which is a shark, not a whale.

reminds of a novel i read ago called The Eye of the Whale, it's really amazing btw

[@chinmaychandraunshuh]

It's like aliens coming to earth and making hypersonic sounds in the atmosphere.

[@Hot.CrossBuns]

we took the land from the animals the least we can do is let them do their thing in peace

[@TheDragonfriday]

After we took care of our population witch probably will never happen...

[@Nothin2seehere-e4z]

The land is for us too. The land is for all.

[@TheDragonfriday]

seaearthponies Our earth has like 70% of water on the surface... by time we won't have any more land left if we keep growing.

[@azidoe]

seaearthponies But we’re the only ones messing the land up. Every other species does their part in the food chain, but due to our knowledge we made machines, which mess everything else up. We need to stop

[@brianagtuca3356]

the video is so peaceful

[@bernardosaldana9982]

This reminds me of the 52 Hertz whale A whale that sings so loud no other whales can understand it and so it's the loneliest animal in the ocean
