Animal Communication: The Dolphins and Bees



We found this interesting information on the internet







DOLPHINS


What do their sounds mean?

Dolphins use sounds to find objects and hunt to fish.
These sounds are of high frequency and sound out at the rate several hunded per second.
The sounds bounce off objects in the water, are picked up by special tissue in the lower jaw of the dolphin which conducts the echo through to the inner ear. This allows dolphins to identify objects without having to touch them. Dolphins also use the sound to communicate with one another


BEE
S

Bees communicate with each other about food sources using dances .
The sound from the movements of the bees is picked up by tiny hair on the bee's head: bees use the sun in navigation.

France fifty years ago...

In France fifty years ago the transportation were bicycles, carriages and carts. in this time there was not so much traffic. The street was quiet. there were a lot of green spaces and in those green spaces there were animals. The houses were big. The animals stayed in the basement, and the people lived on the first ans second floors. The town wasn´t very clean. There wasn´t sewage.
There were a lot of diseases and there weren´t good medicines. I think life now is better than it was fifty yaers ago.

Genetic engineering


Clones are good if you are sick and you need an organ for you.
You can use the clone to experiment some products.
You can use it to do your homework and your work.

You can create different species of animals. The fauna will increase a lot because humans will experiment a lot with animals and mix the DNA to create more animals.
