Welcome back to cheddar news around today is Wednesday june
15 2022. I'm Manitoba in new york city and
I'm ken buffa. Also new york city. Thank
you so much for joining us. And it's time
for today explained where we break down some of the
biggest stories in the news, how we got here
and where we go next, millions of people dream
about making it big in the Big apple. And
that now includes a very special group of dolphins.
Dolphins. Alright, the beloved animals are popping up
more and more and around new york harbor, but
it's not entirely clear why to learn more about what's
going on. Researchers took an interesting approach eavesdropping.
Okay, here's a bit of what they heard.
So if you didn't know that's a dolphin ordering a
bacon, egg and cheese, but that may have
just sounded like your streaming device acting up with some
weird static but hear us out. Scientists know bottlenose
dolphins can track prey using a series of clicks,
whistles and buzzes. So for two years they set
up underwater microphones and recorders near three of New york's
boroughs and New Jersey to listen in And here's what
the team discovered new details about when and where these
dolphins like to hunt. Like many human visitors coming
to New york for its vibrant food scene. These
animals may be increasingly attracted to the area. Thanks
to its growing population of dolphins. Favorite fish scientists
are urging more research to understand how dolphins and humans
may come into contact. The summertime brings a spike
in water activities, which could put marine life at
risk. So here's how the study's lead author summed
it up by investigating how marine predators such as bottlenose
dolphins are behaving within heavily urbanized ecosystems. We can
gain insight on how these predators influence and are influenced
by their environment, which can be used to guide
conservation efforts, mitigation measures and best practice recommendations.
And dolphins may be exciting to see when you're out
on the boat or hanging out by the water.
But remember this is always so important. Remember it's
hard to do but it's important to remember to leave
these wild animals alone for both their safety and of
course yours let the dolphins enjoy their fishy snacks and
clicky conversations in peace. And I get that you
know whenever you like at the zoo or anything,
you know these animals are so cute you want to
give them food. Don't ever do that because it
really does damage the ecosystem. I like to think
they have like thick new york accents like if they
ever migrate. So where you from? From the
city of new york. Okay. Yeah, I
