There is no doubt that parrots are very intelligent animals. Their ability to learn and repeat phrases is unusual. However, contrary to popular belief, these winged "socialites" are not the only animals that can talk. There are an estimated 124 animals in the world with similar vocalizations and intelligence levels, but scientists have yet to determine why they choose not to speak. According to one leading evolutionary theory, the animals had a better chance of survival by cleverly establishing communication through body language, smells and sounds that humans couldn't understand. So this means they can avoid religious debates, racial rankings and international conflicts!

? The seal is one of these animals. It was domesticated by Danish scientists because of its ability to produce complex natural sounds, its learning ability and its similar vocal cord structure to humans. I hope that through training, encouragement and the temptation of some small fish, I can break the silence and speaking nature. Scientists expect seals to become the stars of Denmark's most popular marine park.

The New England Aquarium once had a famous talking seal named Hoover, who was raised by fisherman George Swallow. While Hoover's words are a little slurred, the words "come here" and "come on" are clear, just with a thick New England accent, like George Swayne would have grown up

So far , Dr. Bastien Burrell and his team of experts have successfully taught seven seals to communicate without stimulation. The first seal can even make complex sentences, such as: "Is it time to eat?" I feel a little uncomfortable "Has anyone seen my phone yet?" An international seal tour is definitely underway.
