鲸的发声机理一直是生物学家要搞清的一个谜。在水下一声万分之一秒的轻吼,竟能让千里之外的同伴获知自己的存在,同时还能震昏鱼类获取猎物。奇怪的是这种世界上最强音不是发自喉咙,而是鼻翼。要想拿出有说服力的证据,就必须借助现代高科技设备。 The whale’s vocalization mechanism has always been a mystery for biologists. A sneak peek in the water for a thousandth of a second can actually let a fellow who is thousands of miles away know his presence, and at the same time it can shake the fish and gain prey. The strange thing is that the strongest sound in the world is not from the throat but from the nose. To produce persuasive evidence, it must rely on modern high-tech equipment.
