A NEW STUDY Has Found That FISH Can Not Only TALK But Also That It’s COMMON
A new study from @cornelluniversity has found that fish can not only speak but also that it’s quite common. Scientists have long wondered if fish are able to communicate with sound and studies as recent as 2018 estimated that only 20% of fish can. But this recent study shows that ray-finned fish (which account for 99% of known fish today) have been speaking for millions of years. By backtracking the convergent evolution of ray-finned species, they found that the ability to speak evolved with these fish 33 times, meaning it’s an important skill for them.
