每日口說挑戰破解鯨魚的秘密語言 (Deciphering the Secret Language of Whales)

Intro: Hello VoiceTubers and welcome to today’s pronunciation challenge! I was watching a documentary the other day about whales and it got me wondering, how do whales communicate with each other? Do they swim and dance like bees? Do they use a certain noise to tell that other whale, “Hey, Nice to meet you!” Well, guess what? In the documentary, they explained that whales communicate through singing!! Imagine if we could all talk to each other through singing, wouldn’t that be fun?! But since whales sing to communicate, how do the whales understand each other? Is there a certain melody that means something? Well let's find out in today’s video, let’s get to it.
