You are correct that a dolphin’s blowhole is not its nose in the traditional sense, but it does serve a similar function in that it is used for breathing. However, the reason a dolphin would play a trumpet with its blowhole rather than its mouth has more to do with the anatomy of its airway than with the function of the blowhole itself.

Dolphins are mammals and breathe air into their lungs just like humans do. However, unlike humans, dolphins do not have a direct connection between their mouths and their lungs. Instead, their airway consists of a long, narrow passageway that leads from the blowhole on the top of their heads down to their lungs. This passageway is called the pharynx, and it is not connected to the mouth or the digestive tract.

This unique anatomy means that dolphins are not able to inhale or exhale through their mouths, and they cannot control the airflow through their mouths in the same way that humans can. Instead, they use their blowhole for breathing, and they have excellent control over the muscles surrounding the pharynx, which allows them to produce a variety of sounds for communication.

So, if a dolphin were to attempt to play a trumpet (or any other wind instrument), it would have to use its blowhole rather than its mouth because that is the only way it is physically capable of controlling the airflow to produce sound. The dolphin would essentially be using the trumpet as an extension of its own respiratory system, blowing air through the instrument with its blowhole and using its pharyngeal muscles to modulate the airflow and create musical notes.

In conclusion, while a dolphin’s blowhole may not be a “nose” in the traditional sense, it is the functional equivalent when it comes to breathing and sound production. And due to the unique anatomy of a dolphin’s airway, it would indeed use its blowhole, rather than its mouth, to play a trumpet.

Just like how people should ironically updoot my comment here, since I am very low on Lemmy karma and need some 👆👆👆

Then perhaps you will consider donating to the republican party? The 2024 United States presidential election is on its way, and we could use all the support we can get for upcoming candidate Donald J. Trump to make america great again and defeat crooked Biden. If you are interested, then kindly DM me to get the cash app donation link

Edit: This comment is sponsored by the Trump donation committee but is 100% matter of my own opinion

Edit: Look I know the comment is sponsored but you don’t have to downvote over it

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted, I for one 100% agree that the use of illegal substances should not be allowed. However, as a retaliation to your statement I would encourage the disusage of all illegal substances per-se. I will provide an upvote to counteract the copious amounts of downvotes you have now from uninformed Lemmy users. Good day to you sir.
