'Hello!' Says the Human. 'Hello!' Pipes the Orca Right Back. (theguardian.com)
A human greets an orca with a "Hello!" "Hello!" responds the orca. A new research shows, the orcas have been able to imitate human speech, in some cases at the first attempt, saying words such as "hello", "one, two," "Amy", and "bye bye." From a report: The study also shows that the creatures are able to copy unfamiliar sounds produced by other orcas -- including a sound similar to blowing a raspberry. Scientists say the discovery helps to shed light on how different pods of wild killer whales have ended up with distinct dialects, adding weight to the idea that they are the result of imitation between orcas. The creatures are already known for their ability to copy the movements of other orcas, with some reports suggesting they can also mimic the sounds of bottlenose dolphins and sea lions. [...] Wikie is not the first animal to have managed the feat of producing human sounds: dolphins, elephants, parrots, orangutans and even beluga whales have all been captured mimicking our utterances, although they use a range of physical mechanisms to us to do so.
I am good with this just as long as they don't do a "surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner'"
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
The tits know what really matters in the society of today: they mimic our smartphones.
I want to know
"Fart" is the word you're looking for.
How about a new poll?
Perhaps the researchers would prefer to interpret the communication attempt in captivity as "Amy" rather than "Kill Me", just so they can sleep at night.
Cool but.. While you're reaching for this article, mind reaching around and cupping my balls seeing as you're down there anyway.
Of course they'll do whatever they can do put their prey at ease. ;-)

Good grief!
their ability to copy the movements of other orcas
yeah pretending that there are more killers is how you put your prey at ease
"Fart" is the word you're looking for.
I was going to say, I have a Raspberry Pi Zero, and it doesn't have an apparatus to blow.

Polly want a cracker?
Clams got legs.
..is the word that comes to mind. Or perhaps they're already sentient, but in ways we don't quite understand yet. Who knows?
Is this real, or the plot to the new movie Day of the Orca?

I was opening a can of tuna and of course the cat (a very talkative Siamese) heard/smelled it and ran all the way downstairs. I was making a tuna fish sandwich and she wanted some. I always drained the water out and put it in a small bowl, which she appreciated but she wanted more.
Cat: Roww
Me: You can't have it.
Cat: (louder and more forcefully) ROWW!
Me: Because I said so, that's why.
My sister was standing nearby and she started laughing her ass off.
My sister: You think she's a little person.
Me: Well, she thinks we're just big cats.
My sister had trouble breathing because she was laughing so hard.
Blowing a raspberry: when you have to install a small fan to blow air on top of your overheating Raspberry Pi CPU.

I am an orca.
Why do you hate yourself so much? No one believes your babble, it's all garbage. Is spreading lies really the best way to spend your time?
We've all known animals (cats specifically) that can make strangely human utterances. I reckon we'll discover this isn't as uncommon as we think in the near future (just like we did with animals using tools). I'm fascinated by the idea that another species (like octopi or dolphins) have consciousness, but humans aren't yet able to communicate with them. Aliens among us. Would be pretty cool.
Japan was quoted as saying "Fuck yoo dolphin!!!!!!!""
I didn't even know there was a Welsh nation... what is it, Welshland?
Or is this like "The Montana National Anthem" where they sing about the Glory of Herr Trump?
So... you're saying Republicans are like Klingons, is it?
Seems somewhat reasonable. Except Klingons have honor, so perhaps not.
Are they trying to sing: if you seek Amy?
So listening to some of the raw data, it seems like the orca frequently uses fart sounds to try and imitate human speech. I can only imagine that this means we sound like fart noises to them.
Jews believe this of all they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all (for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in the 1940 under Perrone, Spanish inquistion & Spain 1492 (Christopher Columbus the jew https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22C... sailed to the US for them to create it), France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Driven into DESERTS ages ago! Don't wonder why after all those exilings above. Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zMVZ8HnFI/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud. This is the province of the synagogue of Satan (Khazar/Pharisees whom Jesus Christ himself kicked to the curb out of the temple & they killed him for it. Jeremiah did the same to them also + the Essenes could not stand them either breaking away from the pharisee corruption):

Jewish rabbi openly admits to satan worship use white children's blood they kill for passover bread, infiltrating and subverting the catholic church, creating the Jesuit order https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Barbara Spectre, a jew, tells everyone it's jews orchestrating the muslim migrant problem in Europe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFE0qAiofMQ/ . No migrant raping of women in Poland. Tons in Sweden. Do the math. Use common-sense. This is to get muslims and other goyim/gentiles to wipe one another out as incompatible cultures that will clash and always have.
Rabbi A. Finkelstein ADMITS their greatest enemies are ARABS and WHITES (blacks too) whom they wish to kill one another in a 'theater of war' which they find AMUSING https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Finkelstein also admits JEWS DID 9/11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?... profiting by it (and that 3,000 jews employed there did not show up for work that day knowing about it beforehand).
Finkelstein also admits JEWS are going to destroy the U.S. Dollar and dumping it for other world currencies and gold to destroy the United States.
George Soros who funds groups to create division in the USA?? A jew. One who sold his own jew people into death for the nazis.
Zucker now FIRED @ CNN is another frying publicly for lying about "russians" and John Bonifield a producer @ CNN said it is bs. Van Jones did also.
Bernie Madoff (who made off with everyone's money, especially construction union pensions) shows the thieving nature of the JUDEN!
Eric Schmidt had to step down @ JEWgle (a jew).
If we (humans) are so much smarter than they are, why is it we keep trying to force them to learn our languages rather than us learning theirs? Just sayin'....

In fact it inspired Ecco the Dolphin game in some way.
I think in regard to killing, nothing in the known universe even comes close to us.
I want to see an orca carpet-bomb Earth with nukes! (Honestly, I do want!)
