It must be so divine to be a sperm whale.

These are my favorite episodes, where someone is telling their own story of connection with nature. Like the recent platypus one.

Platypus is poisonous!

It's like a first contact with aliens

@TheWolfalpino 15 годин тому

If you think in the ancient times we were swimming and communicating with them, being a one thing only, no separation... This is how it should be, and even more, time given. We are the aliens

@hunterG60k 2 місяці тому

Incredible animals, I have no doubt that if we can decipher their language we'll discover that they are thoughtful and intelligent beings. I almost cried when she rolled over at him, just stunning

@--AE-- Місяць тому

If they’re so smart then why can’t they decipher our language? Or at the very least come up with a language that’s easy for us to decipher? They’re smart… for animals. Which is like you saying that your 2-year-old is smart. Yeah, maybe… for a 2-year-old that still poops their pants and eats their boogers.

@jasonvoorhees5518 7 днів тому

@@kaykovuskerteus90 Define smart, what's smart to us might not be smart for animals. You forget that we have human smartness, you think humans are smart because they can make nuclear bombs and then throw them at eachother, is that smart? Think you overestimate humans like every human does.

Because they don't have computers nor the data to do so? What? You gonna expect a whale to pull out a computer monitor? Good shit.@@--AE--

You are not just befriending,, you are talking and communicating with a whale! I doubt anything will happen to me today that can beat this as the "best thing that happened today".

Why do you think whales have names?

@lovedbythestars9609 25 днів тому

@@NotUnymous Names in their language not ours...we know that individuals recognize each other. Do you assume that they're nameless? Why? And what is a name? In human culture, a name is made of letters. In whale culture, a name could be a certain frequency, or a smell, and so on...bet you didn't think your trolling would get such a long response! Have a great day ! 😄

I've had some encounters with sperm whales I remember one following us around for days Working on the ocean and not touching land 3 months at a time. Sometimes I felt like the only connection I had was with this whale that would follow us I knew which one it was because of the unique scar on the nose I remember one time I was going through some dark moments Which I won't explain why But when I was thinking about jumping over board and tying in anchor to my ankles Seeing the look in the whale's eyes it was as if it knew I remember thinking that it was telling me I don't belong down there That Whale is probably the reason i'm alive

@HeIsNakedLunch 2 місяці тому

Beautiful, captivating and so romantic into every pore. Dolores could be banal. But, when I was in elementary school in Eagle Rock, California, I was in love with a Black and/or Hispanic girl by same. I love you always, Dolores. In fact, I was so head over flats that I made out with a Tercel’s driver’s seat window. I didn’t expect company would walk near enough by. Oh well. A piner does what a piner must. Otherwise, it’s war. And then we die, anyways.
