There are several intelligent animals among the the human race. Animals like pigs, dolphins, dogs and many others but I don't think that the Beluga Whale can even compare to these animals. Researchers have recently discovered a 9 year ole whale speaking in octave that are like the octaves that humans speak in. Eventually researchers trained this Beluga to make these sounds on command There have been several times where there have been claims of hearing these noises but this has been the first time its been recorded (go to link below). As the whale continued to make these human like sounds they figured out that to make the noises the whale changed the pressure in his nasal cavity very quickly. Along with some other very hard muscle contractions, changing the his lung pressure, and manipulating his own speech mechanics, its obvious this is no easy task for the whale. This whale has been learning these human sounds simply by listening and mimicking. Thats extremely fascinating and remarkable.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20026938
