This is fascinating, but what's the evolutionary advantage of covering up the noise?

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 47 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Covering the noise is covering the running water. Covering the running water creates a dam. Creating a dam creates a pond. Creating a pond provides them with a nice controlled environment in which to build a lodge with an underwater entrance for protection from predators.

I did but i was always high. Was it actually an educational program?

Running water means you can block it off to create a reservoir. Evolution isn't about what makes sense, it's about what works, logic be damned.
