Scientists discovered a tiny, transparent fish called Danionella cerebrum, measuring 12mm, in Myanmar's Bago Yoma mountains. This fish can produce loud drumming sounds, reaching 140 decibels, through its swim bladder when one of its ribs is pulled into the organ. Researchers believe that the loud sounds may help the fish communicate and navigate murky waters or serve as an aggressive tactic for males during mating competition.
