This essay is going to tell you about why dolphins make clicking noises. Have you ever wondered, is it just a special thing they can do with their vocal cords? Does the water do anything to help them? Read on to find out why they do  it and how do they do it. Plus some fun facts on dolphins too.  

Why do dolphins make clicking noises? Well, they use a kind of sonar called echolocation. Echolocation is when a dolphin makes a clicking noise it sends thorough the water.  And it (bounces off another animal or object) and lets them know how far away the object is from them. Also when it comes back to them, they get a vibration from the echolocation through the water. Also here are more things it tells them or helps them. 

 One of the reasons is to help them navigate through the ocean to see were there friends are or where there pray is. Another reason is they can find food. Also when they make the clicking noise and it comes back to them, and they get a little vibrate. Also they use it to find their food too.
