A lone killer whale near a Canadian fishing village was a skilled mimic that barked just like a sea lion, a new study reveals.
Researchers say the barking calls of the killer whale, or orca, known as Luna proves killer whales can learn to produce novel sounds in the wild, a skill considered rare among mammals
I can see it now a new treat is in store for viewers.
Someone will finally figure out an innovative way to "assist" the rich and famous. No longer will their pets have to spend the day listening to human soaps in which their owners star. Now they can have their own special shows of talented animals. Indeed they may end up on the screen and vie with their masters for a good position on the red carpet.
Got a pet that can so something special? Be prepared to get a good agent!
After all Paul Hogan was someone who painted the rust proof paint on to the Sydney Harbour Bridge before he was discovered!
No one will be spared. Talent scouts will scour the countryside for that exciting Jersey cow that can star in her own episode of "In the MOOd" or we will have a whole new type of show for killer whales other than "Free Willy"
