Responding to the sound, the female humpback whale, named Twain, "approached and circled the team’s boat, while responding in a conversational style to the whale ‘greeting signal,'" according to a news release about the interaction by the SETI Institute.
The exchange was championed by Dr. Brenda McCowan of U.C. Davis, who also serves as the lead author of the peer-reviewed study.
