In 2012, researchers in the US discovered a beluga whale whose vocalisations were remarkably close to human speech. While dolphins have been taught to mimic the pattern and durations of sounds in human speech, no animal has spontaneously tried such mimicry.

美國的研究人員2012年發(fā)現(xiàn)白鯨的發(fā)聲系統(tǒng)和人類的極其相似。雖然人們曾對海豚進(jìn)行培訓(xùn)讓它們來模仿人類的發(fā)聲習(xí)慣和長度，但是不曾有任何動物

自發(fā)的去模仿人類的聲音。
