Attempting To Understand Whale Behavior

This jaw-dropping story about the heroic rescue by a group of diving buddies of a trapped humpback whale comes from the geniuses at RadioLab on WNYC. What follows the story is a humbling analysis on how animals think, or more precisely, how they don’t think and how we impose human motivations on their animal behavior.

The touching story starts at 3:50 and goes to 18:30 just so you know what you are signing up for when you click “play”. And I sincerely hope you will because its a true animal story unlike any you’ve ever heard.
