Singing Dolphins Do Batman

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bam-pow-whack dept.

The results of two scientific studies have shown that dolphins are capable of recognizing rhythms and pitch and are able to reproduce them. In order to best demonstrate this ability the scientists chose the epic, Batman theme song and were able to teach a shortened version to the dolphins who reproduced it in response to certain stimuli.

    "Delphinic" means pertaining to dolphins. Get a dictionary. And dolphins are fish. Just because they smile doesn't mean they don't live in the water.

    Dolphins are highly intelligent aquatic mammals that are closely related to whales and porpoises.

    So they're clever fish then? Still fish.
