In a zoo, in an aquarium and in any place where we visit to admire the animals we want them to be closer to us in order to get a better look at them or even to cuddle them. However, not all the animals can be easily approached because these are wild creatures although they live in the city. But some cunning visitors know how to attract the attention of the fauna using a variety of interesting techniques.
For example, a 10-year-old Ellie Mezaros did a little research before going to the SeaWorld Aquarium in Orlando, USA where she especially wanted to see dolphins and get their attention.
According to Ellie’s father, his daughter tried a huge number of methods to attract attention. She used toys, a mobile phone, tapping on glass but none of them worked.
However, soon the girl decided to try the method with a conventional comb – you just need to attach it to the glass and run your finger over the teeth. The resulting sound is similar to the signals that dolphins call each other.
As it turns out the comb method really attracts the attention of these mammals. And what’s more important is that it is very easy to repeat it yourself!
