As part of the trial, the killer whale was asked to mimic never-before-heard sounds made by other orcas with different dialects from different family groups.

Then, she was made to repeat human words.

In recordings of the experiment, Wikie takes several stabs at "hello". Every time, she voices two syllables with something resembling an "l" in the middle and an "o" at the end.

What I find more fascinating than orcas imitating human speech, is the fact that they'd be interested in doing so.

Nothing pisses me off more than knowing that these remarkably intelligent, emotional, and self-aware animals are kept in tiny tanks for human amusement.

Imagine hearing that alone in the middle of the ocean. Just you and you hear a distinct "Hello."

You’ll know the end is near when they say, “so long and thanks for all of the fish”

What is even more interesting is that not only do they imitate human speech, they appear to understand the meaning, while we cannot understand or imitate a single syllable of theirs.

What humans do to these creatures is truly vile.

imagine going to an aquarium and an orca randomly says ”YOUR MAMA WAS A SNOWBLOWER!” and then rudely blows a raspberry at you

This made me cry. Animals are so intelligent if they’re given the chance to show it.

That last "one two" was clearly an orca trolling a human. Magnificent.

How bored these poor orcas must be to take the time to imitate a human. They are so intelligent. Each pod actually has their own sounds of frequencies they use to communicate. To have them kept in these tanks only double maybe triple their size, breaks my heart.

You can realize they're trying hard, although not being able to replicate the sounds physically.

Orcas share the same neurons that mske empathy possible, hence the possible consciousness aspect in their brain.

They're such incredible animals and to think humans have treated them so poorly through history... So sad.
