If It Quacks Like a Duck, It Might Be a Whale

A mysterious duck-like sound recorded in the ocean around Antarctica has baffled scientists for decades, but the source of the sound has finally been found, researchers say.
For more than 50 years, researchers have recorded the so-called "bio-duck" sound in the Southern Ocean. Submarine crews first heard the oceanic quack, which consists of a series of repetitive, low-pitched pulsing sounds, in the 1960s.

HA! PROBABLY just a "mating call"; Capt. Ahab is watching... (Moby-Dick, the WHITE Whale)).

Ah, the whale has one of Fred Noonan's duck calls. They've been looking for them for decades, ever since he navigated himself into oblivion.

If the whale is that good, it's probably because he's had a while to practice. My question is, what's he gonna do when he does find a duck?
