"A Beluga whale has learned to speak in a &amp;quot;human&amp;quot; voice. The sounds from Noc made a diver believe that another person was telling him to get out of the water, researchers said.      A paper titled &amp;#039;Spontaneous human speech mimicry by a cetacean&amp;#039; has been published in the latest issue of Current Biology. &amp;quot;Although dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) have been trained to match numbers and durations of human vocal bursts and reported to spontaneously match computer-generated whistles, spontaneous human voice mimicry has not previously been demonstrated,&amp;quot; the authors explained. &amp;quot;Hitherto no acoustic recordings have shown how such sounds emulate speech and deviate from the usual calls of the species.  &amp;quot;We report here sound recordings and analysis which demonstrate spontaneous mimicry of the human voice, presumably a result of vocal learning, by a white whale.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
