And you thought herring were common fish-and-chips fish?? Think again! They're extremely special creatures- they communicate by farting-a study suggests!
Marine biologists have known that herrings have excellent hearing, but they never knew what it was used for. And then they discovered that the fish actually make small, high-frequency noises at night, by releasing air from their anuses!
Wheeeheeee... Imagine, if we communicated like that: *prupp pruup pruuuuuuup* *I love you*
Really, amazing fish. In fact, I know some one who would make a very socialble herring. ;-)
