"The whales sing because they have a song."

Colbert -- who doesn't wear a watch, carry a cell phone, or use the Internet -- said he captures his subjects in such phenomenal poses after spending enough time in a location for the animals to get used to him.

"I'm usually just spending a lot of time with them, interacting, observing, reassuring," he said, adding that in today's technologically advanced society, there are few people who have developed a once-normal framework for relating to animals in the wild.
