There are many creatures on our earth that we do not know about. There are some that we have never even heard of. It is because of the internet that we have come to know about more and more creatures, but we are surprised to hear about their specialties. Today we will tell you about one such fish, which will make your life difficult even if it is around.
You must have heard about different types of fish and must have seen many of them. Some fish are very huge, while some are very small. The fish we are going to tell you about today is so small in size that no one can even imagine that it can make such a loud noise. The sound of a fish as small as a nail is no less than that of a jet fighter.
A tiny fish makes a lot of noise
This fish named Danionella cerebrum was discovered in the year 1980, but it could be identified in the year 2021. It belongs to a species of very small fish and its size is only as much as a nail. Recently, researchers came to know an interesting thing about this fish. Through its sonic muscles and drumming cartilage, the fish can make a sound as loud as the sound of a bullet. Its sound from 10-12 millimeters can be 140 dB. In simple language, this is as much noise as the plane makes while landing and taking off.
It even surprised scientists…
Dr. Rolf Britz, a scientist at Senckenberg Natural History Collections, said that this sound is quite loud for such a small creature. It is not that there are no creatures that make louder noises than this, but this sound is quite loud for fish that are generally considered quiet. Video recordings showed that this sound comes from a rib near the fish’s swim bladder.
