What's the science behind whale communication? - David Gruber and Shane Gero

Sperm whales had suddenly become harder to kill— they had begun fleeing the boats instead of forming their usual defensive circles. Were whales communicating new strategies to each other? David Gruber and Shane Gero investigate. Lesson by David Gruber and Shane Gero, directed by Anna Benner. The recordings of whale codas included in this video were courtesy of Project CETI.
