Underwater Animals Are So Loud, They'd Damage Our Hearing

The video explores the diverse and loud sounds produced by marine animals, including seahorses, toadfish, lobsters, snapping worms, and snapping shrimps. These sounds serve various purposes such as communication, mating, and defense. The ocean's dense water molecules make it an excellent sound conductor, allowing these sounds to travel far and fast. However, human ears are not adapted to hear these underwater sounds, which can be extremely loud and potentially harmful.
