A montage shows pictures of Kim Kardashian and an orca. Scientists have found that toothed whales can produce a vocal fry, just like Kardashian.
  • Toothed whales can use vocal registers like humans to communicate and hunt. 
  • Like Kim Kardashian, whales have a "vocal fry" which can be used to find prey in deep sea.
  • At that depth, the whales' lungs collapse, so they use air trapped in their nose to communicate.

One of Kim Kardashian's trademarks is her vocal fry, a creaky voice affectation that studies have suggested is deeply polarising for humans.
