Unlike humans, who can clean out the wax that covers their external ear canal (not with Q-tips of course!<\/a>), whales remain stuck with their wax.

These are the secrets that are of interest to researchers! By peeling away the layers of a whale\u2019s earwax, researchers can get a glimpse into its life.
