Can killer whales speak our language? Creepy audio reveals orcas mimicking human words
Orcas, known for their intelligence, can mimic human language, as demonstrated by a female orca named Wikie who replicated words like 'hello' and 'bye-bye.' This research highlights orcas' vocal adaptability, suggesting that vocal imitation may explain pod dialects in the wild. Wikie's mimicry reveals the complexity of orca communication despite their anatomical differences from humans.
