There was an interesting article on the BBC News website about mice and their ability to "sing". It was long thought that mice could only produce sounds at one pitch but a study has shown that they could very well possess the same traits that songbirds and whales do that allows them to do something called "vocal learning". If you put two or more mice in a cage, the pitch of their squeaks start to converge and change depending on what one mice is doing compared to the others.
