Whales have long been a mystery to humans, but what if they are far more intelligent than we ever imagined? In WHALE WISDOM, legendary narrator Sir David Attenborough and award-winning filmmaker and marine biologist Rick Rosenthal take you on an extraordinary journey beneath the waves to explore the hidden minds of whales. From humpbacks and orcas to sperm whales and gray whales, this breathtaking nature documentary captures never-before-seen whale behavior, revealing their problem-solving skills, social bonds, and even playfulness.

... are smarter than we think. In our lifetimes the intelligence of animals has been underestimated over and over. Each study, all the evidence, the greater the animal/human interaction have all proven this.

Being able to acknowledge the difference of intelligences, being able to understand the different abilities, being able to understand the physical, mental, natural, learned, and instinctive talents of all species can only grow.

Sadly, we've managed to destroy many or most species, invaded, destroyed or forced them to abandon most of their habitats, and polluted all the rest before we learned these things.
