I saw this article and was like "there must be somewhere specific I can post this" but couldn't remember. Yes, here!
I think we will be able to communicate in basic ways with whales at some point in the not too distant future, which is wild to say in a sentence but there is a lot of fascinating research going on and their language seems very sophisticated but also understandable to a human perspective.

I can understand your perspective on the lack of knowledge about the book series. But now you know!
