Okay this is wild — sperm whales apparently have their own phonetic "alphabet" with vowel-like sounds, tones, and layered structures that work a lot like human language.
These guys have been having deep, multi-generational conversations for millions of years. Just passing down knowledge like we do.
Honestly just a really cool reminder that we're not the only intelligent, cultural species on this planet. Nature still finds ways to blow my mind.
