    Emperor penguins use a two-voiced call to recognize each other individually within large, noisy crowds on ice sheets. They are able to produce two separate vocal frequencies simultaneously thanks to an anatomical feature called a syrinx that splits their vocal organ into two branches. Studies show this two-toned call carries enough unique information to allow penguins to identify their mates and chicks, even when visual cues alone are insufficient for recognition. Some other penguin species that do not make nests, like king penguins, also use this two-voiced call system.
