Study: Male Mice Sing for SexNov. 2, 2005 — Their voices may be squeaky, but mice sing, according to a new study.
Several years ago, scientists discovered that male mice emitted ultrasonic vocalizations when the mice were trying to woo females. But the latest study, published in the current journal Public Library of Science Biology, is the first to classify the sounds as songs and to make them audible to human ears by lowering their ultrahigh pitch and slowing them down. continueAnd also on that site, you can actually hear what's going on. What do you think? ;D
