"Newly-Discovered Tiny Fish Roar as Loud as Gunshots, Study Finds"

Researchers have discovered that the Danionella cerebrum, a tiny species of fish, can produce sounds as loud as a gunshot, reaching 140 decibels, using a unique sound production apparatus. This makes them one of the noisiest species known. The loud noise is believed to be used for communication, possibly to warn off rival males or navigate their environment. The discovery showcases the remarkable ways in which evolution has solved challenges in the animal kingdom.
