Today’s answer is from yesterday’s trivia question, “Where do dolphins produce sound?”. If anyone answered “B”, you are correct! Dolphins don’t have vocal cords like we do, instead they utilize airsacs located beneath their blowhole and manipulate them into different shapes to produce all the different sounds you hear! Next time you visit DRC, look at the dolphin’s blowhole when they vocalize, you’ll actually see it move a little!
