BEIJING, Aug. 16 -- A team of dolphins at an aquarium in southern China's Shenzhen city are playing doctor to help children suffering from brain injuries.
The dolphins, with the help of human volunteers, play with the kids and "talk" to them in their own marine language.
Dolphins make sounds in the frequencies between 2000 to 100 thousand Hertz. Medical experts say the sounds stimulate human brain cells and thus can help the children in their recovery.
So far over 50 children are receiving dolphin therapy at the aquarium, of which ten have already seen signs of improvement.
