Penguin Talk

Why do you think God made these birds to blabber underwater?

Penguins can make sounds underwater like whales and dolphins do. Scientists strapped small, underwater cameras with built-in microphones to the penguins’ backs. The cameras picked up over 200 sounds made by the penguins as they dove for food. This was the first time seabirds have been recorded making sounds underwater. Scientists will keep studying penguins to learn why they make these sounds and if other penguin species also make noise in the water.
