Noc was a beluga whale that spent most of its life at a naval research facility in San Diego.
Scientists studying Noc say he imitated human sounds. They have published Noc’s human-like sounds in a new study in the journal Current Biology.
The World’s science reporter Rhitu Chatterjee explains the new findings to Marco Werman.
