Calling all penguins


Calling all penguins
Scientists have known for some years that the voice box of birds has two branches, each of which can emit a different sound. However, scientists did not know the purpose of this ability, until now. Dr Thierry Aubin of the University of Paris has discovered that Emperor penguins use these two distinct voices to identify each other. The combination of the voices emits a ‘beat’ which enables penguins to find their mates and chicks in their huge colonies.
