  • LOL!! I like that there that be a nice song especially at the end when he sounded like he be pantin LOL

  • This has to be my absolute favorite sound in nature.

  • (ran out of room, sorry) so never say never because we should not give up praying for them and ministering to them. It doesn't happen overnight; I used to get frustrated when I saw that people's hearts are hardened against God. But now I understand that love is what I have to keep showing and speaking out in my deeds. Mercy, immense mercy. Jesus always weeps out of mercy for them, and I feel His pain for them too. Don't give brother.

  • @mbm131213: it's not a waste of time, God would want people, even the wicked, to rescue and protect animals and people. And over the years in my walk with God I've been seeing at least some unsaved people have their hearts a bit opened by God just by spending time around animals and children. God ministers and is always talking to us through them and through other things, we just have to hear Him. Just don't stop praying for them, I never do. Grace works things slowly and patiently, so never sa

  • Moby dick.

  • @RandomSpevver That would be funny. Do you like the whale songs? Here's something else that's good for a laugh: Playing with your thingy while a pet cat or dog watches on across the room.

  • i wonder.....is this ray william johnsons girlfriend??

  • Good job

  • Prettiest call compared to the other whales. I think it's sweet

  • turn this up all the way to piss ppl off lol

  • it sounds like some of these are looped

  • @BRIfuckingANA that's because I believe they are rhyming. Just like we do in music and poetry. Repeating words/phrases/melodies/sounds. Pretty neat. Really connects us to these animals and to all living things.

  • sounds like a squeaky door

  • omg it sounds like my daughter whining ...

  • It reminds me of a door opening and a little nit of a horse trotting

  • 1:17 , i sthat its teeth?

  • @Carol9x Nope. Barnicles.If i even spelled that right

  • I think that's the sound of a really rusty door hinge going back and forth.

  • it sounds like when you open/close the door :D

  • listen to this then search out " the bloop" here on youtube. it's an interesting coincidence if you read more about the bloop.

  • 2:04 orgasm?

  • hahahhahaahhaahah its whalex

  • @iamunderstand Silly me. And I thought my comment was so clever. LOL

  • creaky door.

  • I don't care much for whales.

    People are always trying to save them but it's a waste of time.

    They'll never accept Christ.

  • Are you scared of whale? Do you know that whales are smarter than human beings because of the size of their brains. Whales are similar to humans though, they teach their calfs like humans teach their children. Why do you hate whales again?

  • @mbm13213 Neither will you, with that attitude. "What you do untl the least of my brethren, so you do unto me." In other words, Christ is a waste of time to you.

  • @robtrodes Um... it was a joke. You do know that, right?

  • I wish I understood their music language. Thank you.

  • These majestic beautiful cousins, what they be chanting is actually their ancestral origins, like, where they came from etc. This they do over and over all along their migration. In fact that is why they chant the same chant year after year. If the whales die the world would end !!!! Say this to those idiots that hunt them, lest they want the earth to end !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • whales live in the ocean!

  • sounds like an elephant

  • lol funnys i luv whales

  • awesome i love whales

  • Whales are big!

  • im really obessed with whales

  • @breannamorghan like your mom?what what!!!

  • Very interesting, Thanks

  • i dont know...it doesnt sound real

  • But it is real. Wow, don't you look foolish.

  • @dujl the only reason why i said that was because i have heard real whales...unless this whale is sick or something than it is probaly someone dragging their fingers across some glass

  • And all whales sound the same?

  • God Damn you people are seriousl about whales.

  • What's interesting is that we probably can't hear most of the singing, since whales operate on sound frequencies higher and even lower than the human ear can perceive.

  • Actually the typical human range of hearing is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Whalesong varies in frequency from 20 Hz to 10 kHz, well within our range.

  • Well, ok, thanks for the correction. Maybe their songs aren't as inaudible as some of the other sounds they make to communicate.

  • @RaceYouThereMusic Actually, whale sounds have been documented to as high as 150 mHz. The definition of "song" is a bit vague, but I can say that I've heard some interesting stuff that has been slowed down significantly so we can hear it..

  • woah, thats pretty amazing

  • this music rocks

  • lol some of the sounds came from Transformers lol and i was just guessing but i know its the whale making the sound

  • i love whale songs!!!!!!

    my favorite music

  • we need to save the whales!!!!!!!!

    idiots like you can live without whale oil!!!

  • How about you go take care of your retarded baby you uneducated superficial fuckface.

  • Hahahaahha

  • I ABSOLUTELY <3 HUMPBACK WHALES

  • The only beasts on this planet are humans. every other creature, beside a virus ... take the rest from matrix movie. but thats just true. what do we have? 3 millions of years as "real" humans and 110 years after the industrialization? nice job. well done. WE are not supposed to be here.

  • Why do you say that? We have every right to exist as any other species that came about on this planet.

  • Are you retarded?

  • No but my 15 yr. old daughter is severely mentally retarded/challenged with Down Syndrome and Autisim. She is a loving earthly Angel and a true gift from God. Special needs children and animals in their natural state are the most beautiful creatures on earth! BLESS THE BEASTS AND THE CHILDREN!!

  • I guess you are.

  • NEVER SAY NEVER. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY YOUNG AND HAVEN'T LIVED MUCH YET. I AM A FORMER MISS ALABAMA-USA and MISS VA.-USA AND NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD HAVE A SEVERELY HANDICAPPED CHILD IN THIS LIFETIME. WELL, NEVER SAY NEVER. SHE HAS BEEN A BLESSING ALL OF THESE YEARS AND I AM A BLESSED/CHOSEN MOTHER TO HAVE HER. AS FAR AS WHALES AND ANIMALS ON THIS PLANET GO, WELL, THEY ARE ALL PART OF THE LORD'S PLAN FOR US. I WILL PRAY FOR YOU BUT AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, NEVER SAY NEVER. !

  • Beautiful the Humpback whale is my second faviorate whale after the orca. I love the Humpback song its so beautiful, to be honest I love all whales..

  • damn...that makes me think

  • I love humpback whales :3

    They sound so beautiful and peaceful :D

  • scary

  • It's funny how large they are but they still go really high pitched.

  • whales are the best animals on the planet :'( its so sad that my favorate type of whale (blue whale) is endangered

  • Mostly all of the whale species are endangered, so Go Joes.

  • i love whales, too bad that they are hunted and almost 2000 left of them

    or am i wrong :P But, really few of these are alive- T_T

  • fuck you! -.-

  • "Uma das maiores coisas" que DEUS fez...

    -Lindo d+

  • his singing little mermaid song from disney

  • fabulous

  • niceeeee shots =D

  • This is a sophisticated LANGUAGE and meaningful. I understand that whale communication such as this signals to other whales across thousands of miles. I am awestruck and humbled when I hear whalesong.

  • i too speak whale

  • Comment removed

  • 1:28 some kind of Super Mario sound:D

  • that is scratching a baloon not a whale song

  • i don't think NewScientist would pass a balloon off as a whale

  • imagin harin dis while u sleepin lol

    fukin scary as a 13itch hole

  • i find this creepy as hell, iamgian heaaring it in the middle of the ocean.... DDD:

  • so fucken scary man

  • seriously that's what it sounds like.... rotfl!!

  • bwop! i love that sound!

  • Interesting.

  • very romantic

  • sorry but this video cracks me up

  • This is making me skitz out so much

  • I love listening to the way whales communicate it is amazing!

  • Great Recording! AMAZING quality.

    This peaceful conversation comes to an end when whale chasers arrive...Yep, there is nothing fishy about whales..they are mammals.

    These days, there is nothing 'mammalish' about humans they behave like a virus.

    Whalechaser3,any solution for this growing problem?

  • we're not all bad

  • It's called nuclear war, and/or polar meltdown. This will flood the human world and make way for whales. Go go whalepowa :D

  • i prefet a polar meltdown lol the nuclear war will kill everything on the planet and that is not a great thing

  • Luchemos por un santuario ballenero en la antartica.

  • ¿Quién es nosotros, y cómo usted luchan?

  • as it tends to be the males only who do this, while suspended upside down, for fifteen minutes of a dormant period of 30 minutes, could this simply be circular breathing, whilst power napping, or maybe form of meditation?

    sorry i didn't get political about hunting etc. just thought "new scientist" was about science.....

  • I-WAN KOMMT EIN BILD VOL EKELHAFT III

  • sorry but your english is too crap to understand. whales are endangered, especially the ones you want to 'research/stash meat in boxes and sell illegally. It has nothing to do with cowardice and no one is ignoring iceland or norway. You're also illegally whaling in southern waters. It's not about pride, or prejudice against japanese, it's about saving a species from extinction. Thank god my japanese friends are much smarter than you.

  • well said!

  • to be fair

    the whales that are hunted are not endagered

  • Please refrain using the word (Jap),my daughter is 1/2 Japanese and like me and many others she is agains't the whaling,so if ye need to feel to call them something then come them (Whalers).

  • its like a door opening O_O

  • A politician of a nation where its particular culture is Null.

    Last year the politician who has very special political-idea Won.

    They say the cause of his win was Fully Utilized Greatest Mamal.

    Simple people of the nation scream "Killing Whale is Cruel!"

    Simples seldom feel "Killing other plain animals is cruel"

    Smart people know "Anti-Whaling is ideal business-resource"

    Smarts know "Never only Japan who is Whaling"

    Both seldom protest to Non-Japan Nations' Whaling.

  • there's something fishy about this video

  • there's nothing "fishy" about whales, there not fish!

  • they accidently eat the occasional fish. don't worry i love whales too

  • Love it love it love it!

  • Really odd sounds - almost surreal. But beautiful, at the same time. They know what gets a girl (since they can't play the guitar)!

  • cool!

  • This about blew my dogs mind. She is 4 1/2 months old and a Tricolour Pembroke Corgi. She ran around in tight little circles and then would stop, swivel her head around, all the time swiveling her ears back and forth to try and locate the sounds. When the excitement got too much she would start running around again before finally yipping frantically as she ran.

    Try it on your dogs and see the reaction.

  • I tried to:) amazing

  • beautiful

  • woow

    it sounds kinda sad

    fascinating song

    n i loved that sound, that wich sounds like bubbles, big bubbles

  • "bubbles, my bubbles!" ;D I love that sound also. It's so strange o.O

  • aww this is SOO cute!!

  • This is a gd thing to watch when ur on the brown stuff

  • They sound like squeaky doors that need to be oiled, well some of the whales do!

  • It has been proven that whales actuallly DO sing songs. A song can be defined in it's simplest form as a series of repeated notes. Long recordings of whale songs show that they can sing a perfectly repeated series of notes. It is not obvious to the human ear because each 'verse' or 'chorus' if you like will be sung for an average of 15 minutes before the whale cycles back to the beginning and sings the exact same thing over again. That's why it doesn't sound like a song to us - it's too long!

  • lmao @ the "fake" comments; where do you all hide? McDonalds?

  • Big deal... men sing to attract women and repel men to.

  • sound like my dog and my door

  • sound is very unusual, i wonder how they make it or what in them makes it...

  • wow that sound is amazing to think that something could actually make that thats totally different from a cat or dog because they make those sounds everyday this is when they sing toi find a mate :)

  • i believe this is genuine

  • how internet if full of ignorants....... please shoot yourself in your mouth
