    You could add to the whale breaching the case of the spinner dolphin. While working with Dr. Robert Ballard in the South Pacific on locating some wrecks, there were a couple of pods of spinner dolphins in the same area, and on a regular basis we would see them giving a demonstration of their spinning ability, shooting near vertically out of the water and spinning like mad before landing back in the water on their sides. It was fantastic to watch. Also, where we were working the in the Solomon Islands, the water depth dropped drastically from the shore, being over a thousand feet within a mile of the islands shore and a depth of 4,000 feet within a few miles of the shore. The bottom also through Bob for a loop, as he was expecting a mud bottom like he had discovered off of Guadalcanal. Instead we had a mixture of volcanic ash that looked like sand dunes in the Sahara, and lave flows and fields. A great mixture along with the coral reefs next to the islands. We also were hitting hot spots with the underwater sonar where the temperature jumped from about 53 degrees to close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. We did not have the time to see about deep sea vents. The thing that I found amazing with the appearance of life whenever there was a discontinuity in the volcanic sand. It could be a lave outcrop, or a sunken Japanese landing barge, or a piece of wreckage. When those appeared, life did as well. I saw a similar thing while working on identifying some Japanese carrier wreckage off of Midway, but there the depth was 17,000 feet. One of the other surprises was seeing a normally shallow water ray swimming between islands at a depth of 1500 feet. Think about the massive pressure difference that the ray had to deal with. There is so much unknown about the oceans. I felt while watching the view from the camera sled as we moved from place to place that I was an astronaut viewing the surface of a new planet for the first time. It was an incredible experience.

    It makes sense to me that whales breach out of joy. I went whale watching when I was seventeen of the coast of northern Australia. I don't know how to describe it, but the whales looked like they were having fun, like they were reveling in their audience. The same way, when you're watching a dancer, their passion for dancing and for performing shines through. You can feel how happy they whales feel. It's exhilarating.

Like imagine you went outside and noticed large groups of birds displaying joy when you hopped on one foot. You're probably gonna do it again, get a friend and the two of you will do it in front of the birds. Birds might bring their friends to see, making you do it more and getting friends.

    Heard an idea that the Narwal tusk is basically a sound wave antenna. The millions of nerve ending sensors resonate to faint sound, so they can hear severely extreme distances. What they listen for could be the sound of females, pods or predators or prey. Basically a looong ear. The reason they have this appendage as apposed to other whales, is that other whales that sound locate have larger heads/ resonance chambers to hear, and Narwals skulls are smaller, so nature provided an external vibrating antenna to provide the information.

    Whales are intelligent creatures, I think they do a lot of things just out of contentment. Breach for fun, singing could be similar to a cat's purr. The 'WOW' signal is often attributed to whales. There's a lot of personality similarities between certain whales and elephants, they're distant relatives I suppose.

    Everything on earth is more or less distantly related. Yeast is our cousin, as are rabbits. The WOW-signal was measured by radiometronomy as a pattern in galactic radiation from the direction of sagittarius. Whoever are the supposed people attributing electromagnetic signals from space to whales? They sound hilariously clueless. Cats purrs are cat language for "thanks mommy, I´m good". All felines can and do purr as babies. Usually during feeding and the following "tummy massage" which most cats moms need to do to their young for a few weeks, to help their digestion. Its just a neotonic trait in domesticated cats they never let go off. And give off when pampered. Its not really for fun, but to tell momma cat all is well and the milk is staying down. Not saying whales arent great or sing for pleasure or have personality, mind you.

    Whale singing has also been hypothesized to be verbal speech between whales. There is evidence based on structured rhythms seen in them, as well as repeated patterns that only appear in groups around certain individuals, suggesting names, and even the fact that calves will sing without any structure seen in adult singing until they reach a certain age, suggesting baby babble.

    whales and dolphins definitely have consciousness and even culture. orcas seem to have trends. Like there was a time where a bunch of orcas would balance dead fish on their head. the only reason researchers could find was fun. and it spread like a viral trend, for about 6 months, then they stopped. and whales knowing that humans can help them in some situations is something i’ve heard repeatedly over the years.

    I was saddened he didn’t make a reference to 4 n that part. Oh and here’s a good one - the novel of that film details the conversation between the probe and the whales…full text copied below ------- [Probe] “why did you remain silent for so long?” They (the whales) tried to explain, but it reacted in surprise and disbelief. “Where were you?” It asked. “We were not here,” they replied, “but now we have returned. We cannot explain, traveller, because we do not yet understand all that has happened to us.” By ‘us’, the traveller understood them to mean themselves as individuals and all their kind for millions of years in the past. By their song it recognised them as youths. “Who are you?” It asked. “Where are the others? Where are the elders?” “They are gone,” the whales sang, with sadness. “They have passed into the deep, they have vanished upon white shores. We alone survive.” “Your song is simple,” the traveller said, chiding. It was not above petulance. “Where are the tales you have invented in all this time, and where are the stories of your families?” “They are lost,” replied the whale song. “All lost. We must begin again. We must evolve our civilisation again. We have no other answer.” The traveller hesitated. It wondered if perhaps it should sterilise the planet anyway espite the presence of the untaught singing youths. But if it began a new evolution here, the planet would be silent at least as long as it would take the traveller to circumscribe the galaxy. The traveller would have to endure the pain of the world’s silence. Organic evolution required so much time. Besides, the traveller possessed very little cruelty. It could consider destroying the young singers, but the conception caused great distress. It abandoned the idea. “Very well,” it said. “I shall anticipate young stories.” “Fare thee well.” The traveller fell silent. The whales bid it farewell. The traveller collected its energy. It ended its interference with the patterns of the blue-white planet. It caused to power the violent storms ravaging the surface. It sought its usual course, oriented itself properly, and sailed on a tail of brilliant flame into the blackness of the galaxy.

    breaching maybe to get whale lice off, theres a whale guy in Mexico they actually come up to his boat and he takes the whale lice off them, some are beneficial but too many affects them negatively

    Simon, i have a completely unrelated question. Maybe you've already answered this,but I'm wondering about that black world globe in the background. Is it all black, or is there print on it i just can't see? If it's all black is there a reason or something? It looks cool, and I've been meaning to ask for ages, i know you have different color light shining on it for different videos, but I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. 😁

    As for the Narwhal probe theory, New and prototype aircraft are often fitted with a long nose probe as they're put through their paces to gather information from the airflow ahead of them (to enable calibration of performance), maybe evolution has given the creature a similar attribute.

    I've often said: "take how intelligent you think an animal is, multiply it by 30-50% and that's how smart it actually is". They can't talk. They don't know how bridge our consciousness to theirs. So there's much below the surface that we do not give them credit for because we cannot observe it.
