At the risk of exposing my illiteracy in being the last person in the world to read Moby Dick I'd love to quote a paragraph spoken by a salty whaler in 1949 when observing baby whales nursing:  "...and as human infants while suckling will calmly and fixedly gaze away from the breast, as if leading two different lives at the same time; and while yet drawing mortal nourishment, be still spiritually feasting upon some uneartly reminiscence;--even so did the young of these whales seem looking up towards us, but not at us, as if we were but a bit of Gulf-weed in their newborn sight."
We all know that look, described so eloquently by Mr. Melville.
