RE: Teak OIL or Not?

Okay, but I'm betting that all the members of the dolphin/porpoise/whale (cetacean order) have a common language of sorts. Like the different native tribes did up and down the PNW-BC-SE Alaska coasts. They had their own languages or dialects, but there was this "pidgin" language that was much more limited than the tribal languages but could be understood across a wide number of tribes.

So assuming this is so (perhaps your friend from Sripps can confirm this), if you could transmit the Orca's "sink whale watch boats and eat the tourists" message to the dolphins, they could in turn pass it on to the Orcas and sperm whales using "pidgin whale."
