Killer whale learns to imitate human speech in world first Orca recorded mimicking English words like 'hello', 'bye bye' and 'one two'
Snakes are not the only tetrapods (or even lizards) to have lost their legs. Whales have lost their hind legs (the front ones are now their flippers), and we have a pretty good fossil record of how they did so, thanks in large part to the work of Phil Gingerich of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology (see his great whale evolution site here) and his collaborators.

I read this story. It really doesn't mean anything until they can show that she understands what she's doing. Just to copycat doesn't mean she comprehends.

Whales have stumps of limbs. We have a good idea of the evolutionary process, They went back to the sea.

SO you let a parrot type your posts here? That makes sense. Much more than us thinking a human is at the other end of your posts.

Actually noindy, my parrot can't type, all it does is copy my voice
And the whale, it's doing the same thing, mimicking
It's Not really that exciting if you consider a parrot can do it as well
Well, maybe for you
Sorry I had to explain it to you
Oh, I get it, you throwing nasty insults
Pathetic noindy, but nothing I wouldn't expect from you
