Scientists have taught dolphins to combine both rhythm and vocalisations
to produce music, resulting in an extremely high-pitched, short version
of the Batman theme song.

The findings, outlined in two studies, are the first time that nonhuman
mammals have demonstrated they can recognise rhythms and reproduce them
vocally.

Share and enjoy,
