Blue whales and dolphins, relying on a series of unique singing and echolocation exchange, scientists vividly call this song “whale song.” If you speed up the blue whale’s singing tenfold to fit the human hearing range, it sounds like a siren of a ship or train, long and low. Although human beings can not yet break the phrases in “whale song” one by one, it is certain that the whales sing
