"I spent weeks training with some of the world’s top dolphin researchers to
learn to speak like a dolphin in order to see if this pod of actual dolphins
would accept me as one of their own. It might sound kind of crazy but dolphin
researchers are actually just starting to crack the mysteries of dolphin
communication and indeed scientists are starting to attempt to communicate with
dolphins using their own communication system. So the question is—if I learn
their sounds, will they talk back? Or will they just swim away?"
Via Muse, who wrote "This vlogger does interesting videos about languages.
Human languages. He’s a lot of fun! And recently he decided he was going to try
learning the language of dolphins and speak with them. This is the sweetest
video!"

"I spent weeks secretly studying ape communication and then I convinced these
apes into thinking I was one of them. Bonobos are the closest living relatives
of human beings, and while attempts have been made to teach them to use human
language, it is very rare for human beings to try to communicate with bonobos
on their terms using bonobo vocalizations and gestures, and so when I attempted
to do this as an innocent visitor to this bonobo research center, the bonobos
were genuinely shocked and we bonded pretty hard."
