Singing Mice

Living on Earth

Scientists have discovered that mice sing, but they don’t know what they’re singing about. No one can hear mice because they sing at a pitch that is above the human hearing range. Researchers found that individual mice have distinct songs and when the pitch was lowered, they sound much like birds chirping. This week we end with an interesting Earth Ear.
