Does the universal translator not work on animals?

Getting there with whales:

Adam Savage suggested the whales would call us “genocide monkeys.” (Nice name for a band).

They actually would not know what a monkey is so “stabby seal” is more likely.

They’d ask us to keep it down—though Hunga Tonga is louder and as long as there is a Putin, there will have to be sonar.

They might ask us to kill orcas that eat their babies, but we’re not going to do that either…
