It's time for all of us Americans to be proud of what our native scientists accomplish. For now they have successfuly completed the most amazing feat to date. No, there is not yet a cure for cancer, and there is no cure for world hunger, but they did, however do something much more important: Taught dolphins to sing the "Batman" theme song!
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.
Now that we have both dolphins who can bomb subs for us and dolphins who can sing "Batman," maybe we can get them to do them both simultaneously.
