  2. Is the audio track for real?!? Those vocalizations sound eerily human! Pardon the anthropomorphizing, but I felt just the same way about swimming lessons. Is this really the first time this youngster has taken the plunge? Nice job on the filming and editing by Jessica. Thanks!

  3. Audio track is for real! Just wait till I let you listen to our hydrophone recordings...now that is something else.

    I don't think this was the first time the pup has gone swimming, but he sure hasn't done it much!

  4. Do researchers ever use the word "cute" in their papers?
