http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-42877067In France a killer whale has learned a handful of words and learned how to talk due to a marine trainer from a France park. The whale tends to say the words "Amy, one,two, and three" almost in every way when speaking. Dolphins and whales are among the few animals that are able to be able to produce a novel sound just by hearing it. Marine mammals are one of the other animals besides humans that are good and manipulating words and sounds according to Dr. Joseph from University of Saint Andrews. Researchers are currently trying to figure out how whales are able to intimate voices and sounds through various ways. So, they set out to France at Marineland Aquarium where thy studied a female whale named Wikie, They taught her to communicate by talking through her blowhole in which she uses squawks, and shrill whistles. Wikie is able today Amy, hello, bye bye, and count up to three. Killer whales are known to live in groups and are able to intimate one another's unique sounds. Wikie who was kept in captivity was bale to learn other whale vocalizations and human vocalizations as well. According to researchers they need to be careful in not imposing human concepts on thee animals because they are still animals that communicate in their own ways in the environment.
