For a long time people thought that the floor of the ocean was a very quiet place. Some thought that it was almost without any sound. Scientists were surprised when they put a microphone under the water and heard all kinds of noises. Scientists heard grunts, growl, snarls, and whistles. The bottom of the sea sounded like a zoo. Scientists were puzzled when they found out that these noises were coming from fish.

Fish make these noises by grinding their teeth. Others scrape their bones together. Still others make noise with the sac of air in their bodies. Why fish make these noises is somewhat of a mystery. Some scientists think that the fish use these noises to speak with one another. Most scientists believe that the sounds have no meaning.

Scientists have now found out that the dolphin knows the meaning of some sounds. Tests show that he is one of the smartest animals in the sea. People say that they have been able to teach the dolphin many human words. At Marineland of the Pacific it is said that dolphins have even been taught to sing. They rise to the surface and sing for visitors. At least it sounds somewhat like singing.

Who knows? Someday scientists may be able to talk with dolphins and learn many secrets of the sea. Just think of what the dolphin could tell us. We could learn the location of sunken treasure ships. We could learn where to locate great schools of fish. We might even learn the location of enemy submarines.
