"On September 12, 2015, Tom Mustill and a friend were on a guided kayak tour in
Monterey Bay, off the coast of California. There was so much food in the rich
waters of the bay that whales were engaged in an unprecedented feeding frenzy.
As kayaks and boats shared the water with the whales, a humpback breached and
came down on the two friends.
They survived, but the episode sent Mustill--a biologist by training--on a
journey: what if we could communicate with whales and other animals? The
following excerpt is from Mustill's first book, 'How to Speak Whale: A Voyage
into the Future of Animal Communication.'"
