"A Dalhousie University PhD candidate in biology is fuelling the debate
that culture—generally viewed as distinctly human—is also found in the
animal kingdom."

Based on anecdotal evidence from other animal experts, I've long
suspected that whales aren't the only species to have groups with
distinct cultures.
