Listen to these Orca whales imitate human speech

- As part of the trial, the killer whale was asked to mimic never-before-heard sounds made by other orcas with different dialects from different family groups.
Then, she was made to repeat human words.
In recordings of the experiment, Wikie takes several stabs at "hello". Every time, she voices two syllables with something resembling an "l" in the middle and an "o" at the end.

“Hello!”
*”HAAAEEEUWAAGH”*

Stitch greeting
@@FrostyGerardo-kr7xs yes! So cute
Sounds the same to me 😂
Ohana means family...
Imagine hearing that alone in the middle of the ocean. Just you and you hear a distinct "Hello."
Or a voice saying "over here....turn around"
distinct? are we watching the same video?
Oh finally a friend
Just the hallucinations from drinking too much salt water kicking in😂
"Bye-bye"
Great White: i am the ocean's scariest predator
Orca: heyoow!
Pilot whale scares them.
😂
Great white is the Fave prey of Orca and the Kidney is an Orca delicacy.
@@georgeadams6277Some groups of orcas wat great whites. Others eat salmon, seals, etc. They are very specific hunters.
Technically he still is cuz they need to attack him in a group despite beeing bigger to avoid deadly counter attacks
Nothing pisses me off more than knowing that these remarkably intelligent, emotional, and self-aware animals are kept in tiny tanks for human amusement.
I agree that sucks, but like, what about genocide or someone throwing a baby at a wall? Legit curious.
I hate zoo's.
@@MonokelJohn No No, you totally misunderstand what I'm asking, key word asking. the ones I proposed could be harsh but could also replaced, I was genuinely curious about their response to the nothing pisses me off more than (insert thing), and wanted to see if it was a general statement or more. I could have worded it better but I wanted to engage it a way that would get a response from the OP. Hopefully.
I think it's awesome. Proves man is #1 on this planet.
They've probably been cussing like sailors for years.
What I find more fascinating than orcas imitating human speech, is the fact that they'd be interested in doing so.
they are food motivated
@@harleyquiinnnn if you think about it, everyone is technically motivated by food
@@velvetvixen3001 😆👍🏻
Free food, and friendly neighborhood. Even human is small, they still didnt attach human aggressively. They even want friendship to human, since they are social animals.
They plan on taking over. They'll still be around long after we destroy ourselves.
You’ll know the end is near when they say, “so long and thanks for all of the fish”
😂
PERFECT!
"So sad that it's come down to this"
@@elric5943 "we tried to warn you all but oh deeear"
A HHGTTG thread? Obviously.
As soon as they can string a sentence together it will be, "please stay out of the ocean?"
It will be "Set me free" 😢
"So long and thanks for all the fish"
I’ve always said that about animals, like people wanting to know what their dogs or cats are thinking, I think they would say they don’t want to be owned! That would be the end of pets!
"Wait ur doing what to others of our race?"
@@erinrising2799or the star spangled banner onnathe two
How bored these poor orcas must be to take the time to imitate a human. They are so intelligent. Each pod actually has their own sounds of frequencies they use to communicate. To have them kept in these tanks only double maybe triple their size, breaks my heart.
chances are it's just a socialization thing. I mean, humans meow at cats all the time and it's not out of boredom, so I don't see why other animals who live in close proximity with us shouldn't do it くコ:彡
@mel1503 No, this is something that has been forced upon them in captivity, it's called pavlovian conditioning. Watch Blackfish if you haven't already. Will really open your eyes.
A mother orca was separated from her baby in captivity, and she attempted to call out for her baby using long distance calls, it was the first time scientists had ever heard such a call, when there was no response she went into a deep depression, and was further punished by pavlovian conditioning, basically "perform for us or you starve", and when orcas are starved, the other orcas don't like it and they attack the one not 'doing their job', this is also talked about in Blackfish, truly heartbreaking. They don't deserve to be locked up for our entertainment.
Double their size? I know they can be small but come on.
@kieranrankie203 they are kept in tiny holding tanks overnight which are double their size, they don't live in the display tanks.
That last "one two" was clearly an orca trolling a human. Magnificent.

@@gemee1our cult leader brings us so much happiness, doesn’t he?
There was once a very hungry prowler cat and he went to a food bar with a leaf in his mouth wanting to buy some food with it.
@@FelixJacobusWhat does believing a Creator have to do with cult leaders ? Evidence in the world and universe around us, undeniably points to a Creator. When Richard Dawkins says there's no God and his followers blindly repeat this, I'd say this pretty much makes him a cult leader tbh.
They're such incredible animals and to think humans have treated them so poorly through history... So sad.
the smarter a being is, the more potential for extreme good and extreme evil there is. Look at monkeys
I wonder if one day they'll ask why they are in a aquarium
Very heartfelt comment
Heartbreaking!!! Omg 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔I’m almost cry
She an the another orcas in her pod born in captivity,so she doesn't know about the existence of the sea,in anothers words,is ilogical that she'll says that.(Sorry for my bad english)

No. Instinct always feels that there is something greater, something unfulfilled, when it is kept away from them. This is true of every creature. Instinct knows what SHOULD be, even if the creature has never seen or known it.

Thank you Was just about to comment something like this 🤣
Lmfaoooooo most underrated comment here
I'm glad they put that in there, it made me laugh

Orcas are by far my favorite sea creature, they are just so freaking cool in every way, from behavior to appearance!
I’m gonna cry
It almost sounds like they have their own speech patterns like each individual human does. A voice.
scientists think they have there own language
@@javierhillier4252 it's more than a language: a single note, pitched up or down conveys an awful lot of information, but we have no idea how. Think of a single vowel containing as much information as a sentence, or a paragraph; that's how they "speak"
Not only do they have their own language and culture passed down from generations like us humans but each pod of orcas have their own dialect and language
They do actually different pods have different languages and sound patterns that evolve over time and distance just like people. And baby orcas have to learn to speak the language slowly over time just like human babies do its pretty crazy.
@@javierhillier4252 Yes!! They do!! And their very own dialects too!!!
You can realize they're trying hard, although not being able to replicate the sounds physically.
They’d be using their blowholes, so pretty impressive
It's the same with people trying foreign languages
@@marcelurban4120
Except Humans can physically speak other languages. Imagine trying to speak clearly and form words entirely out of your nose. That's how the Orcas feel.
Their vocals are evolved to carry sound through water. So they cant really make the same sounds as us.
@@patriciastone9836 but they have studied and continue to study whale languages
BYE-BYE????

I was looking for this comment🤣🤣🤣🤫
How marvellous it is, that we could be in such a wonderful time as this, seeing and hearing something as beautiful as this, countless millions before us, never did and many more won’t.
Thank you to this channel.
Shame, that as we advance into our own annihilation through greed and ignorance, we leave behind something we may never fully appreciate.
In all the known universe, we might be the only organism able to bear witness to the vastness of existence. Yet we are so blind to everything.
I found your comment most profound yet none had replied. So thank you for crafting wisdom into words, in honor of the orca and all life. See you on the other side when this field trip is done

For some reason I was overcome with sadness from this.
Yep me too. Made me shed a tear.
"Maybe if I learn their language, I can ask them to let me go free..."
For me I found it completely moving and also adorable. It shows just how intelligent orcas, whale and dolphin variant species are and their earnestness and eagerness to try to imitate and learn. They really are an amazing species. It is sad though if you think about the ones in captivity and also that suffer from pollution as well.
God that's depressing. I love nature so much. I want them all happy and safe@@GMoney-B
Same. Something very sad about it.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, My Heart Melted at the Hellos!! Each Orca had their own personal character voice!!
They are Voice Actors 😊
I am speachless. I had no idea Orcas could do this only thing is do they understand what they are trying to say.
Do we even understand what we are trying to say 😉
Such remarkable creatures

it's quite amazing how they all have such variations of ''accents, and tones.'' I love this.
So adorable! 😍
LOVED IT! A real treat.Thanks for sharing.
What is even more interesting is that not only do they imitate human speech, they appear to understand the meaning, while we cannot understand or imitate a single syllable of theirs.
It's called cardio-gnosis. You are releasing frequencies from your heart to their heart. You can speak to plants as well and transmit frequencies and they will speak back. The whole earth communication is based frequencies and vibration. What I am saying has been proven by scientific study.
@@leroypharezsias4064cool….but why can’t we understand their language?
@@angela64355 it takes time to learn their language, you also have to have a pure heart towards them filled with an eternal state of honour in your heart. The Creator will allow you to communicate with them of you are heart is filled with purified sincerity, love, peace, joy, Honour and appreciation for making them. Communication is actually mostly frequencies that we can't see physically and what we are hearing is just about 20% of what's actually being transmitted, the rest is emotional intelligence through frequencies that speaks to spirit and heart of the creature.
@@angela64355 because...theyr animals???
Where’s the part where they appear to understand the meaning?
This is actually scary how close it sounds to human speech
It's also scary how smart they are
too bad it is scary to you lol where's your inner child
@@preetiraut787 I guarantee if you were surrounded by these things, you’d be at least a little freaked out too
@@Grant_Sheppard yeah maybe you're right ¯\_(ツ) but as a matter of fact, "being surrounded by them" and "listening to their human-ish sounds on a yt video" are two very different scenarios
edit: 🎤 💧
Well, we already listen to parrots talk like humans
What magnificent creatures
Just today, I whistled at wild birds in my back yard. One actually copied me perfectly and responded back, twice.
Animals can be intelligent.
This is really cool if you're in an area where you can do this then recognize the same bird or birds later that day or the next day and have a slightly different whistle pattern for each.
They'll remember and some will whistle when they see you outside.
I do this all the time , we have "whistling matches"... your turn/my turn. They wait for ages until I respond then they take their turn.❤
@@STRANGERINMOSCOW1 I used to do this with a blackbird on Summer evenings. Gave up when he'd copy and later embellish my whistling beyond what I could copy as if it were a challenge.
@@user-xw7ie6jv2x It was a challenge! Birds are very territorial and their singing is two fold, to attract a partner and declare their territory.
Living with chickens is a hassle!....
Animals are intelligent. It's sad that humans might assume that they are dumb. They are just living in a completely different way than us and communicate differently.
Parrots and other birds all over the world: "amateurs!"
The difference is that the orcas have a lot more context and brain power.... It's a lot more meaningful.
LOL
What humans do to these creatures is truly vile.
Not really, Orcas are really intelligent, they can also be cunning and sometimes just as cruel as humans as some like to tease seals before they attack them, they work well together while hunting, so it's important to know all aspects about them. If this orca didn't want to cooperative with these humans, it wouldn't, it's in the sea not in a seaworld place so it's free to go wherever it wants.
@@Salena905 i know orcas do that. there are many examples of animals doing similar things. but i was talking about orcas in captivity, not what's in the video.
Oh sick burn
@@servethesongsyou have literally just typed every human as vile so I’m hoping you’re seeing a shrink about that self loathing.

I will always have a place in my heart for animals. I love them so much.
Wow, the Orcas found out that their occasional pets are really trying to express something with the funny noises that they make.
How does this not have many views, this is beautiful and insanely amazing
Because it could be easily faked
It is faked
They've clearly just cropped parts of orca sounds and added it where this woman speaks
it is actually horrific. these recordings are made in captivity, person talknig to this highly intelligent being is their "trainer". of course this recording is powerful but imagine yourself in a blue concrete cage and your body is built to swim 50kmh through wastnes of ocean with your 30 first cousins.
I know right
They're just such beautiful animals
The "Amy" hit me in the feelings, such a positive sound.
It's amazing that every Orca actually has their own speech that is distinguishable from every other Orca just like human speech. Whales and Dolphins also have their own signature sound that each individual is able to tell apart from the others.
Thats also true for whales, it is said they have different accents or sounds depending where they come from
Orcas are dolphins 🐬, just the largest in the species
This makes even more sad to have them is aquariums...😢
Absolutely agree
We keep billions of pets lol whats a few frigin whales matter
@@redhammer5783 yeah...compare an animal that evolve to live with humans, to an apex predator who can communicate...

How about you captive human?
Realize you a captive to cash
Maybe they like the free food and learning how to turn tricks from human women. 😆
I agree. Let's raise it up. We start by raising our own vibrations. 💖 😎
Orcas share the same neurons that mske empathy possible, hence the possible consciousness aspect in their brain.
This is amazing! The only thing I ask is of I'm hiking in the woods at night and they happen to jump out the ocean and start walking, that they kindly not yell Hello while I'm all alone hiking, in the dark... I may 💩 myself! 😂 😂

Further proof that we have NO right to confine these animals to tanks for our amusement
Once we'll eventually destroy all of wild nature, those animals in captivity will be the last ones left though.
And also liter their homes!
Exactly. It's like slavery, it's wrong.
What if we give them work visas and open up the tanks to the sea so they can clock in and out and pay them a living wage of fish heads?
I was taken to SeaWorld as a very young child, but by the age of 7, I refused to go to the zoo or any place holding animals captive. The exception is legit rehabilitation or sanctuary facilities., in order to help them take care of the animals. I have always loved animals so much, and when you spend time with with them and observe them, you come to know that they have their own intelligence, personality, and their own community and ways.
I think humans are at our greatest when we are aware that the Earth is their home too, and we have a responsibility to Earth, and all life on Earth, not just ourselves. The negative things we do reverberate and have domino effects.They deserve unpolluted habitat to live in without trash, plastic, or chemicals and they certainly deserve to live their lives and not be our slaves.
We should care for them because it's our duty and because it heals us too. They have become victims of our self-centered and sociopathic societies. They deserve so much better and we should be so much better!
This makes me feel sad 😢 poor Orcas.
And they even call it "killer"! They deserve respect.
That’s absolutely amazing
It's sign of the times when I want to enjoy and marvel at something but ponder if it's real.
These animals are smart they shouldn’t be in tank and be dying just for entertainment
Many countries are now considering them "sentient" as they are self aware, intelligent, and can recognize themselves in a mirror. What we have done to them is a crime. No matter how guilded the cage, it's still a prison. At least Sea World no longer has these majestic creatures in captivity. Hopefully the rest of the world will end this barbarism.
Dude not all are dying in captivity they are cared for
No, we're getting there but we're not there yet.

Simply beautiful sentient beings
This can't be real! The fact that they can make such a sound so similar to a human is mindblowing! >
I read somewhere that in some Inuit native American tribes they believed their people came from killer whales and became human
It's nothing like humans. That would be parrots. Still, very interesting. What's really mind-blowing is that there is a possibility the whales are somewhat as intelligent as us and this high pitches scream of theirs is part of a language. Can you imagine that? A species vastly different from us speaking a language of their own?
I must say I have doubts it's a full blown language but that remains a mystery for now.
@@CaptainPupu iirc dolphins are up there with the wrinkliest brains, so yeah, they might have very similar intelligence to humans; each whale does have its own patterns, and there are different dialects too for the different ecotypes in different areas of the world
It's quiet incredible. these marine biologists haven't been able to do much in terms of decoding though. Seems like a no brainer that they should've got a team of linguists and pilologists on the job.
Then again, I don't even know if its possible to decode something like this. Without the whales telling us what word corresponds to what object... Maybe we'll find a rosetta stone of whale language written by the ancient whale sage, Willy.@@altairch.4273

Cetaceans have been this intelligent probably before humans even evolved.
@@mostlyorchids That's not how evolution works..
They are trying to communicate with us. Amazing.
No, they aren't. They're mimicking sounds.
So ... if you meow at a cat, or bark at a dog, are you doing it because you're legitimately trying to communicate with them...?
Because I certainly don't, and neither do most other people. We do it for amusement. We don't expect for a second that the cat or dog will actually understand our intentions just because we're mimicking a sound we regularly hear them make. Why assume differently for cetaceans?
Do you also think that parrots - notorious for mimicking human speech for no particular reason - are actually trying to communicate with us?
Sorry but it just doesn't make much sense. They're just copying sounds they're hearing us make
@@DaveGrean yes I do. Whole heartedly.
@@Biketunerfy So ... if you meet a person whose language you don't speak (and let's pretend for the sake of argument that you have no resources at your disposition such as Google Translate or dictionaries) ... you're going to attempt to communicate with them by ... mimicking words they say, which you don't even know the meaning of...?
Because, I'm sorry, but that's really not going to work. You'd both have to use gesticulation, and point at relevant objects, in order to make each other understand what certain words mean, which you obviously can't do with a cat or dog, nor can a cetacean do it with you.
The idea of interspecies communication is actually one of my biggest fascinations, but just mindlessly mimicking the sounds the other is producing is really not going to lead to any sort of mutual understanding, not even in the most rudimentary capacity. I don't understand how this could possibly not be self-evident. The dog obviously has no way of knowing what you're thinking when you're barking at it, and you obviously have no way of knowing what the whale is feeling while it's trying to copy the sound of "byebye" or "one-two". It obviously has no way of knowing what those sounds mean. They're just sounds to them, just like a dog's bark is just a bark to you.
@@DaveGrean there was no need for word gymnastics. It’s only a simple explanation.
This is truly incredible!! 💞
That’s adorable but I’m curious why they care enough to even try
I think it is a sweet feeling when you come across with a creature that is as smart as you , even smarter. Any social intelligent being would like the feeling of finding someone as equally intelligent to socialize w them
This is so mind blowing why isnt anyone talking about this everywhere?
