Whales use a raspy drawling vocal technique – similar to a style of speaking employed by Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton – to catch their prey. The creatures have been found by scientists to use vocal fry, the low tone of drawn-out syllables commonly employed by American celebrities. Whales are known to be highly intelligent, social creatures with creative and collaborative ways of finding food. But a new study has found that whales have a sound-making system in their nose which works in the same way as a voice box but with much more power. In humans, vocal fry is characterised by a raspy drawl as certain syllables are dragged out longer than they should be. But academics from Denmark have now found that killer whales, sperm whales and porpoises make a similar sound. Analysis of cetacean sounds has found they can make three types of sound: vocal fry, low, creaky sounds; chest register, which makes normal sounds; and falset
