    Have they considered befriending the whales, or at least bribing them?

      Killer Whales and humans have a long history of friendship and cooperative hunting. The orcas would lead people to large balleen whales, and the humans would spear them, taking most of the meat, but leaving the lips and tongue as payment to the Orcas.

      Was thinking something similar. What if the whales just don’t like the sailors’ taste in heavy metal? Have we tried passing the aux to the whales? This could be a valuable learning experience.
