There are adumbrations of data which suggest whales Might call out 'codas' by means of identifying each other. Only three individual Sperm whales have been spied upon, Listening to their 5R coda placed at the beginning of a call, But researchers are confident they may be on to something. The 5R has distinctive timing and seems to be consistent with each individual. And to think the more we learn of these special animals, We slaughtered them (and still do!) oblivious of their personalities. Shame that we were so ignorant of these 'non-human persons'.
