No. 10 - Can dolphins control their sonar-like eyes?

If you think those monks who can sing multiple notes at once are creepy, they ain't got nothin' on Flipper.

We all know (or have guessed) that dolphins use something called sonar to navigate, and to figure out where they're physically heading. Until recently, we had always believed that dolphins could really only aim this sonar straight ahead in one direction; it wasn't until we realized they could possibly control the aim on this sonar that the studies began. The idea is that the dolphin uses an organ in its head called the melon to control the sonar's aim; now THAT'S using the ol' melon! (Come on, you know we had to.)

Studies are currently in the works to find out the exact specifications of this newfound sonar information. Until the results are in, what we do now is that dolphins live in a world full of wonder, flying there under, under the sea! Again, you know we had to.
