I read in a fact book recently that a scientist had switched from analyzing land animals to whales decades ago. He was looking for a way to help save the whales. Then, one day, he met someone who said, "You know those whales sing, right?" The scientist had no idea, so the guy let him listen to some recordings. Long story short, the scientist decided to record their songs and release the songs to the public in order to encourage people to protect the whales.
because we are too greedy and so entitled to assume that humans are the most powerful, hence we can occupy it and use the mother nature as much as we want without thinking that other species aren't less important.
Because we're the heroes of our own story - lowly tree-climbing beasts who advanced to overtake every top predator who once fed on us and spreading across the globe. No longer do giant birds eat hominids, it is hominids who take down large birds with the press of a trigger. No longer do big cats prey on humans, now big cats have to be saved _by_ humans _from_ other humans. No longer do fearsome sea creatures take down boats, it is boats who rake in fearsome sea creatures and turn them into fresh meals for more humans. It's easy to forget, but there was a time when lions, bears, sharks, hyenas, birds of prey and other now-endangered species were the "bad guys". The world was once our enemy... and, whether or not we admit it, an instinctive part that's stayed with us for millions of years has made sure we have *_not_* forgotten that.
MrReyes 500 you write all this to make a point but it defeats your point at the same time. With our dominance and intelligence we should have been able to prevent this, we depend on the balance they bring. What animals do is survive not mass killing for decoration and sports. We are wasted intelligence. The world wasn’t our enemy, the world was every living beings enemy, we just decided to make it personal to feel better about ourselves. We are no damn Heroes.
The sound they make is beautiful and scary at the same time, I can't listen to it when I'm alone it gives me goosebumps and makes my body shiver...it's kinda creepy.
This has nothing really to do with the video topic, but I like how the animator represent multiple types of sounds with different shapes, patterns or forms. Visualizing sound is hard, but this catched me off guard because most matched how I do it. Anyway, you won a sub.
Capitalism has served its purpose as feudalism once did in the past. But it has become obviously antiquated since WWII , increasingly stifling progress, and investing in conflict for the sake of more profit.
ThomasRocksU The burgoisity was a progessive "movement", group for humanity, they created machines and tools that helped a lot. But, in time they replaced the cadre of the system they once stood against, the earls, the lords, the kings )=
The geometric shapes as semi abstract conventional symbols were a nice touch instead of simple music 🎵 notes. Seemed to bring the discussion of the cognition and personality of large complex thinking of an animal. It even brings up the idea of what intelligence and sentience as a biological premise in difference from regular person with simple common sense of it's a blue whale and I'm a human being. To actually be able to discuss is a crazy way even including the extreme amount of actual backed data as an abstract reference of conventional thought and data. Makes an excellent argument and a fantastic way to better an understanding of the planet with physical and engineering applications as in technology and biological systems.
klotuur not true lots of our sunken warships drop to the bottom of the ocean, and the poles are even worse. The poles have melted so much that animals over there are dying and sea levels have risen.
Whales and all underwater creatures are just too beautiful . I hope we can find an alternative route to live harmoniously together without disturbing their ecosystem. And learn to respect their their home.
this is one of the finest Video of teded so far, the music, animation, synchronisation, and whale songs are really so well collaborated and put together that most of the time i just couldn't focus on what the narrator was saying. just Lovely
seaearthponies But we’re the only ones messing the land up. Every other species does their part in the food chain, but due to our knowledge we made machines, which mess everything else up. We need to stop
The songs is how they communicate. And true sound does travel fast under water then air above. It's cool how sounds are more used under then above water
It’s all beautiful and all until you fall off a boat into darkened water and the last thing you hear is a whales song as you see a gigantic aquatic anime float by
I didn't even know from where they vocalize, such amazing creatures to be able to develop language like that, isn't a proof of higher intelligence that they can learn all these themes and adept their songs after living togueter with members that had different song sequences?, like me learning a new language?
if yall have seen or read blackfish. whales also cry do to loss and/or sadness. its a different kind of song no one has ever heard. but it was an orca whale so idk
Whoever animated this deserves an A++
Andrew Murata I know right I loved it
Andrew Murata they deserve a A++++++++++++++ you mean 😂
Yep yep yep
they’ve deserve a pay raise
whoever animated every ted videos deserves an A++
When will whales release their music on iTunes?
Scumbag egoist whales don't want to share!
They have their own application, called iWhale. It is extremly expensive and only affordable with Whale-currency
+Sigmund Trutt why!? they have the water that is transmitting their songs very far, and everyone can listen to them in some way!
Lila_Kuh98 They will charge you for listening. it is counted as a rental and the prize increases exponentially with the time you spend listening
Pizaerable yasss❤️😂
Could you imagine being the person that studies whale songs. Must be an amazing job

Well, I think we don't have to imagine because James Cameron did it with Tulkun
@@thenovicenovelist Roger Payne, i believe
Never thought about sound pollution under water. Whales are so good.
Just imagine how Test Baker affected them. I imagine for some it was similar to the sound humans experienced with Krakatoa.
imagine someone screaming in your ear all day long... thats probably what they are experiencing...
I don't want whales to go extinct .
Chinmay Chandraunshuh nor do cetology
chinmay chandraunshuh me too it makes me sad and cry
Elbert John Felipe Not if we kill humans first :p
To save Mother Nature, we have to suicide.
Murder is still murder Robert Bay.
Just try to kill me.
Maybe the songs are telling us to shut up.
i agree
Exactly!!!
Sam Clay 8
Lol
Yep
There sounds they make are so scary and terrifying and yet ...so beautiful and soothing at the same time it’s weird
How can one species- humans- manage to become the villains in almost every story?
because we are too greedy and so entitled to assume that humans are the most powerful, hence we can occupy it and use the mother nature as much as we want without thinking that other species aren't less important.
Because we're the heroes of our own story - lowly tree-climbing beasts who advanced to overtake every top predator who once fed on us and spreading across the globe.

That's the one thing that makes us all versatile.

GREED
If whales ever go extinct, I'm officially done with people.
same.
Ne0nZombie I don't want whales to go..
I love whales.. ♡
we will eventually die and have shorter lifespan
But whales aren't people. So you're already done with people.
I would kill every single human alive or who killed them
Probably one of the best TED-ed videos they've made
The sound they make is beautiful and scary at the same time, I can't listen to it when I'm alone it gives me goosebumps and makes my body shiver...it's kinda creepy.

Whale Song translated: "I like big flukes and I cannot lie .."
Pipe2DevNull And then there's that one guy who keeps Rickrolling everyone.
Best comment I've seen in a while.
This had no business being that funny
This is beautiful and cute and frightening at the same time
Money doesn't care about whales survival. Sad times.
Capitalism is humanity's doom
Capitalism has served its purpose as feudalism once did in the past. But it has become obviously antiquated since WWII , increasingly stifling progress, and investing in conflict for the sake of more profit.

well, the money itself can't do anything, greed is the man behind the scene
yeah
This animation was amazing

This video's art concept reminds
me of "Song of the sea" and I love it so much. You did an excellent job Boniato Studio :3
Yes! It was a very good film too.
*Is there anywhere left we Humans ain't fucking up stuff* ?
No Comment-Kd Space maybe?
It's called dominant species.
No Comment-Kd on the bottem of the ocean, and the poles. Cant reach that easily.
klotuur not true lots of our sunken warships drop to the bottom of the ocean, and the poles are even worse. The poles have melted so much that animals over there are dying and sea levels have risen.

Whales and all underwater creatures are just too beautiful . I hope we can find an alternative route to live harmoniously together without disturbing their ecosystem. And learn to respect their their home.
The way they’re sings , their tone is why I feel sad
O my god why? I feel so happy like literally happy!!
i honestly feel different depending on the audio, some are sad some are calm and some are joyful
Jesus I don’t get emotional often but I’m actually crying right now wtf I love whales
😢
reminds me of finding Nemo and Dory.
I loved those movies
I love how that in every video, the problems the we cause to these animals are mentioned, making the watchers aware of it..
This was beautiful, for some reason
I agree my good friend, I agree....
Because whales, and nature, is beautiful. ❤
this is one of the finest Video of teded so far, the music, animation, synchronisation, and whale songs are really so well collaborated and put together that most of the time i just couldn't focus on what the narrator was saying. just Lovely
ugh. This made me cry. Such beautiful creatures...
And all I can think of is Dory and Destiny. Beautiful whale 🐳 songs.
Rose Blue Whale Sharks don't sing.
Rose Blue Destiny is a whale shark, which is a shark, not a whale.
meeeeeeeee..........
TheOtherNeutrino Pardon the generalisation. Destiny would probably be a solitary and silent predator.
Rose Blue *filter feeder.
Whales are such beautiful creatures. I really do hope we get to understand more within my lifetime.
"Because it's fun!" is the reason I chose to believe in ^^
This video is not only educational, but also meaningful and touching!
the sounds of dolphin clicks and whale songs make me feel so happy and at home tbh
Sa3
Whoever animated this video, needs recognition and has my thanks. Delight.
I'm so touched by their beauty. I love this Earth.
This is my favourite TED-Ed video so far, I love it!!
The end was actually very sad about whales. Thank you for sharing this information, it's really interesting.
This animation and narration is soo beautiful it makes me wanna cry
s/o to all the whales in the world singing their hearts out
His voice is magical
Listening to them is so soothing
It's like aliens coming to earth and making hypersonic sounds in the atmosphere.
Omgggg I love whales so much, so beautiful, so gentle, they are like my favorite animal
your voice is calming by the way ~~~
Finally a science documentary that isn't trying to shove evolution down your throat
The animation is amazing ❤️❤️
This is so beautiful
This reminds me of the 52 Hertz whale
A whale that sings so loud no other whales can understand it and so it's the loneliest animal in the ocean
i was searching for this comment. Whalien 52
"It's your destiny, Destiny..." 🐳
Wonderful animation !
We need to let them sing.
we took the land from the animals the least we can do is let them do their thing in peace
After we took care of our population witch probably will never happen...
The land is for us too. The land is for all.
seaearthponies
Our earth has like 70% of water on the surface... by time we won't have any more land left if we keep growing.
seaearthponies But we’re the only ones messing the land up. Every other species does their part in the food chain, but due to our knowledge we made machines, which mess everything else up. We need to stop
A lot of the noises in this vid sound like they came from Spore™
xd
Music and sounds in this vid are awesome!
I am a normal person. I see whale. I click because im a whale trash.
KIM TAETAE my god we are everywhere
remind me of namjoon sksksk
Ayooooooo armyy
Honestly, m0oD
huhu yes
the video is so peaceful
beautiful presentation
Bronchitis patients know how to make that sound
Whales are so facinating. When I get married my wedding cake will say "to a whale of a wife".
L
O
Whale:" I want to be extra safe."
I like how humans just send a cacophony of deafening noises into the ocean at all the animals and don't expect them to react.
Beautiful animation. Excellent information. I'm going to show my soon to be 9yo daughter so she learns. Thank you. 🙂
The songs is how they communicate. And true sound does travel fast under water then air above. It's cool how sounds are more used under then above water
Beautiful illustrations for wondrous creatures.
they sound so scary but majestic at the same time
Please protec them, they are so precious, world is nothing without them,
I know I am late but I am crying the animation is just mind blowing good job u guys
The sound in the video was so good and relaxing
I can relate. I stopped singing because of my noisy neighbors upstairs.
my favorite video on this planet gosh i love whales so much 🥺🥺🥺
I would just like to thank the narrator/s, writer/s and animator/s behind this channel
Umm..are they on Spotify? 👉🏼👈🏼
their songs give me goosebumps
man those songs are so otherworldly
4:56 "never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down" - the whale
reminds of a novel i read ago called The Eye of the Whale, it's really amazing btw
Best TH-cam channel, learn more things here. Thank you Ted-Ed!
It’s all beautiful and all until you fall off a boat into darkened water and the last thing you hear is a whales song as you see a gigantic aquatic anime float by
This is an awesome video. I love whales. We have so much to learn about them, so im looking forward to study the gentle giants in the future.
hello Trooper
Beautifully illustrated😍😍
I need the soundtrack to this. It is so peaceful
Informative video. The animations were a treat for the eye😍
I'm gonna cry
Dude the animations are soooooooo good
I didn't even know from where they vocalize, such amazing creatures to be able to develop language like that, isn't a proof of higher intelligence that they can learn all these themes and adept their songs after living togueter with members that had different song sequences?, like me learning a new language?
Such a wonderful and informative video ❤❤❤
Great animation!
this was so relaxing
Beautiful😄
Starts singing whalein52
Why this symbol of their language remembered me with Arrival movie? Love both.
this video is so calming
Knowing what happens in Canada and any other cold sea water places with companies looking for oil makes me sad.
apparently youtube knows i love whales.Hoping of seeing one.
How could something sing so beautiful but taste so delicious at the same time?
this video made me cry
This video is a masterpiece!!!
This video is excellent. I loved it. I hope someday we ll learn the importance of taking care of the other animals that share the planet with us...
Beautiful ending...
Everybody gangstas until whales start to call Elsa
very good animation
Great video, thank you!
