Whale story from RadioLab.mov

"A whale rescue. A motley crew of divers and fishermen set out to free a whale, and are convinced they encountered a definitive moment of cross-species communication." This is an interesting clip from an episode of RadioLab called Animal Minds. I thought it asked an interesting question.

@tammyfana Glad to hear how touched you were by the story. People need to realize we share this planet with other life just as deserving of life liberty and the pursuit of happyness. Cheers A.

Our great and unique capacity for empathy is our chance at a prosperous and peaceful future. Leave your reptilian brain behind and move up, like these guys experienced.

@ALEXRAFFI I agree very much. Earlier this year I read "The Emotional Lives of Animals" by Marc Bekoff and I believe this story is covered in that book, if not a very similar one. I have also been so intrigued and in love with whales my whole life. I hope to see one someday.
