In a remarkable encounter, human scientists at Whale-SETI had what they describe as a "conversation" with a humpback whale named Twain.

Rescuers had called off the effort to save “Timmy,” a humpback whale that had stranded in the Baltic Sea last month. But now a last-ditch attempt to move the creature by barge is underway

The juvenile male mammal, dubbed Timmy, was initially spotted in shallow waters off Germany's oceanic coast on March 3.
