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.

Maybe they were busy planning to escape with the aid of their buddies with dart guns on their heads...

Uh I have heard parrots sing songs before and carry a tune pretty good. They will even sing along with a human.

So what's the specialness of dophins doing it?

PS: they should have taught them to whistle the theme from "flipper"


Hey I found an article that has the sounds.

Doesnt sound like batman to me. The first link under the picture is supposed to be the "vocals" which sounds like a two beat screech, and the second one I can't hear at all.
