apparently this university did some research with grey seals & taught them to mimic little melodies, a seal named zola proved to be particularly adept. apparently seals use similar structures as humans to both vocalize & learn how to vocalize

there’s another little video with the same seal & a researcher from the university briefly talking about it in this small form video https://youtu.be/Enyywk03KDQ?si=Qv-cbTsIYowrRy_1
