Dolphins' Welsh accent

Scientists say that dolphins off Wales have their own accent.
The 240 living in Cardigan Bay have developed different sounds from others around the British Isles, reports the Sun.
Scientists analysed 1,882 noises from Irish Sea dolphins - and found those nearest Wales had a unique whistle.
The experts from University of Wales and the Shannon Dolphin Foundation in Ireland are now building a "dictionary" of meanings.
Project leader Dr Simon Berrow said: "We're trying to associate whistle types with different behaviour - like foraging."
