The serendipitous part of this article is the mention of Collin Stetson in the music section. I met Collin when he was living in NYC around the early 00's, bar tending at a place in Williamsburg I frequented. Really nice guy who introduced me to interesting music like Mr Bungle, a band Mike Patton of Faith No More started before FNM (And I knew FNM.) I saw Collin perform at a small venue once too. Very impressive how he played the giant contrabass sax. I'm happy to see Collin built a musical career and earned a Wikipedia page.
I think you don’t want to anthropomorphize nature, not because you shouldn’t have empathy, but because it can cause you to draw the wrong scientific conclusions.
e.g. faithful bird conclusions when they aren’t always monogamous, ants forming societies and having loyalty when they don’t, alpha wolves when alphas aren’t really a thing.
Sounds like (hah) this is a job for cheap sea drones. Spread them out and have them listen and triangulate the location, and then go there with a human team.

Whales are much more deeply connected emotionally to one another than we will ever be. And some species are probably as smart as we are.
e.g. faithful bird conclusions when they aren’t always monogamous, ants forming societies and having loyalty when they don’t, alpha wolves when alphas aren’t really a thing.
