nds from the pod-- but super high-pitched.
They'’’re echolocating!
Hunting for fish!
That whistle I said must have meant something like, "Fish over here!"
or "Let'’’s eat!"
(Whistle-clicking) Oh, Click'’’s looking for Whistle.
She'’’s calling his name.
Must want to hunt with him.
(Laughing) Cute!
Well, we should help them find fish, especially since I'’’m the one who said I was hungry.
AVIVA: Dolphin Power suit coming up, guys.
A couple of quick adjustments and you'’’ll have the prototype Dolphin Power Suit, complete with echolocation power.
Yes, looks like the echolocation works pretty much the same as the bat and sperm whale.
They send out a super high-pitched click sound through this part of their head, the melon.
The sound bounces off objects, like schools of fish or other prey, then bounces back, and the dolphin picks up the sound waves, making a picture of what'’’s up ahead or out of sight.
Great, so I modified the bat and sperm whale echolocation programming and that should do it.
Dolphin discs are ready guys, with echolocation and click-whistle Dolphi-speak features.
Awesome!
Okay, Click, ready for a couple more dolphins with suped-up Dolphi-speak power?
Activate Dolphin Powers!
♪ Oh, yeah!
Now, this is what I call swimming!
(Clicking) The suit'’’s working.
