My toddler figured out how to make dual-tone sounds after watching waaaay too many videos of old trains. He can only do it while going 'Too-toot' at the top of his lungs, though...
Toadfish really just want to be Crash Test Dummies lmao Once there was this kid who Got into an accident and couldn't come to school But when he finally came back His hair had turned from black into bright white He said that it was from when The cars had smashed him so hard Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
It would be cool if they looked at different types of 2 note singing (for lack of better words. I aint not vocalist) like western version vs Mongolian throat singing
Bro im so down to hear a cat sing Epic Finnish Folk Metal, it's gonna be tight I want your cat to sing Korpaklaani, i want it to tell me to Drink Vodka.
I have pet rats, and sometimes they whould chew on things together quite rhythmically, especially the cage bars. It sounds like music. They whould do that together for sometime. Now I wonder - if they can sing, why not play music?
Attracting mates with urine? Well, it certainly explains the crowds of people around nightclubs with all the tidal waves of urine released around them... :P
@ForestofTooMuchFood Pretty sure most if not all mammals use Urine and other sensory odors as a means to communicate and or express territorial bounds. In general I suspect that is probably why our mammalian ancestors evolved control over when they urinate/defecate as other animals, at least birds just automatically go when it is ready....
Things I learned today: Bats don't have phones and fruit flys sound a bit like Meshuggah and male toadfish probably shouldn't be allowed in bars & clubs anytime soon as that'd end up in a massive brawl 10 out of 10 times.
My rat would always sing to me very high pitched but it's was audible and he did it most if I wasn't around for a while or if I was giving him his favorite chocolate milk

One of my coworkers can Burp two separate notes at once and they harmonize with each other it’s crazy I didn’t even think it was possible I thought I just heard some weird anomaly but he does it all the time
Some people can vocalize two times while speaking, often used unknowingly and there's even a recorded attempt of exorcism just because a person was doing it unwillingly after an accident.
Also scishow probably decided that whales already get a lot of attention in science communication compared to, say, the dolcet tones of the toadfish. It's my guess, anyway...
Ornithologist here, just to clarify something slightly misleading about the wood thrush sound clip- the rapid 'teacher teacher teacher' song that comes in about halfway is not the wood thrush singing but actually the distinctive song of an Ovenbird that the mic has also picked up
Association of sounds with things is pretty much language but with no grammar. Also birds are able to understand that same word in different contexts mean different things, so there's that
Wait..... BATS DONT HAVE PHONES!?!?!? How do they surf online when they are not at home? Also how do they navigate without gps?!!??! And yes that was a bad joke....

The avian Syrinx was an evolutionarily impressive innovation. The ancestors of birds and other sauropsids used to use a Larynx too but somewhere in the evolution of dinosaurs part of the structural cartilage supporting the airways was modified such that it could start producing sounds and it eventually took over vocal capabilities since it lacked the drawback of the Larynx from its original role which was to prevent choking and partially was lost to make sound. In summary a whole new organ was formed probably as some combination of benign genetic drift turned beneficial. It also as noted comes with the curious quirk that birds can make two different sounds independently as they have a pair of vocal organs rather than a single one which is the defining characteristic of song birds.
Toadfish are really underrated. They look ugly at first sight, but have extremely interesting physiology and behavior. They can sing extremely loudly for a fish, some are bioluminescence, most males provide parental care, and even have a morph of diminutive males that sneak-fertilise other broods. That's bird and cephalopod level of cool
The Tui makes amazing songs which sound like Julie Andrews and then a choking noise. They also have striking shiny black feathers. Therefore: all tuis and Nina Hagen. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
You heard it here first folks. Bats do not have phones. Also this video was great for the information but also for the fact that the various songs kept waking up my cat.
Fruit Fly song in the episode sounds like a distant helicopter rotor. I guess it makes sense as its the fly's wings make the sound, kind of like a helicopter.

A video on the science and technique behind throat singing (a way that we can sing in 2 notes) would be pretty cool.

Dont forget the North.
Inuit throat singing.
Great idea.
There are singers that can sing two notes simultaneously
@@PeterAnthonyMartins as in with the larynx? if so that's awesome
Mice sing at too high a pitch for humans to hear. Suddenly American Tail and Disney's Cinderella make much more sense.
My cat sings all the time, but it's Epic Finnish Folk Metal and no one else wants to hear it.
Me, I do!! Epic Swedish and Norse Folk Metal as well...
Bro im so down to hear a cat sing Epic Finnish Folk Metal, it's gonna be tight
I want your cat to sing Korpaklaani, i want it to tell me to Drink Vodka.
Meow Meow Metal ! Sounds to me like a wasre of Great Talent .
My cat took notice and looked up when the bat singing played. Only the bat though.
I just love this host.
Singing fish are real?! I'm so sorry Big Mouth Billy Bass
Don't worry, be happy now. Listen to this little song I wrote. I'll sing it to you note by note.
Birds: Metal singers
Drosophila: Hard bass
Bat: EDM or dubstep
Mouse: Progressive rock
Toad fish: 70s rock
Almost sounds like Led Zeppelin.

How can you talk about birds and not even mention the Lyretail?? Simply amazing this bird is!!
Hey man, don't diss the Toadfish looks. They are cool.
Hey, now. Looking like a lumpy, vomit-covered turd that rolled around some dry leaves and twigs doesn't have an affect on cool-ness.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder i like the look of snakes, spiders, and most amphibians a lot of people dont to at least one of those
They look awesome!
Yes toadfish are cool
The fact Humans can produce two sounds at once, even with extensive training, is a surprise to me! Could we have an explanation for this?!?
4:30 someone's going to make a dope dubstep mix of this bat sample
"And bats... don't have phones."
you sure about that?

wow! i never knew fruit flies could song!
When we shift the mouse's singing to a pitch we can hear we get this, "help me, help meeeeee."
“Help me, help meeeeeeeee!” is from the 1958 movie The Fly, with David Hedison and Vincent Price. No mice were harmed in the making of that movie.
@@kepc9083 I think it was also in beetlejuice when beetlejuice caught a fly.
We bigfoots can sing too
But yeah no one believes I exist

whtas your favorite song to sing?
why did we get like 0.2 seconds to listen to each song
This.
Because it's copyrighted.
so that this vid can stay like 10 mins?
@@mfaizsyahmi Hahahahaha
Damn Bruce Wayne bogarting all the bat-phones.
Could you make a video about the human voice, our intonation that help express ourself ? Like, I can understand somebody just be his intonation.
Why are the clips of singing so sort? Like, really really short? it doesn't even sound like singing when its that short.

Disney princesses are true bird whisperers
Why is it that birds particularly enjoy "The Fishin' Hole", _The Andy Griffith Show_ theme?
01:13, do we call that a vocal CHORD or vocal CORD?
Why do whales not get more than half a sentence here?
because whales sing to communicate but not to court each other AFAIK, or so I assume given what they said at the start :)
Also scishow probably decided that whales already get a lot of attention in science communication compared to, say, the dolcet tones of the toadfish. It's my guess, anyway...

Very cool
This video really triggered in me a mind-blowing research about Overtone singing, harmonics and why each human voice sounds different and unique...
Be honest now. How many of you started watching and felt a desire to sing and make pretty sounding noises?
Reminds me of Steven Tyler ♫ _Sing with me, sing for the year / Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear_ ♫

I've been able to dual note since I was a kid. Cool!
I didn't know that it was even possible for humans to produce two sounds at once.
I loved the Bat avatar on the cell phone.
Hi, singer who has studied vocal anatomy-vocal CORDS, cord like a string or rope. Chord with an H is more than one note played or sung at once.
I'm still a little bit laughing at "sine song" because of the possible wordplay
Fun Fact: Hank is also one of nature's sweetest singers!
From now on the Toadfish is called the Beatboxfish
This video feels like reports about the behavior of extraterrestrial life. Fascinating.
All I got from this is Fivo singing the duet somewhere out there is scientifically accurate
