Have you ever wondered what it sounds like under the waves with some of the ocean’s most enigmatic creatures? Well, get ready for a shocker: for the first time in history, researchers in New Zealand have recorded the clicks of rig sharks! Yes, you heard that right; these fascinating fish—long thought to be mute—are not only making sounds but doing so in a way that reveals a whole new layer of their behavior. Imagine the conversation this could spark in fishy circles—”Hey, did you hear that clicking? Must be the rig sharks bragging about their latest catch!” As a team of brave marine biologists embarked on a mission to study these animals’ hearing capabilities, they stumbled upon this groundbreaking discovery that has turned our understanding of shark communication upside down. Curious about how these clicks might be linked to their intricate lives? Buckle up, because we’re diving deep into a world of unprecedented shark sounds and what they might actually mean. LEARN MORE.

A team of researchers in New Zealand that was recently conducting tests on sharks never expected to make history — and capture the first recordings of shark sounds ever made.
While examining various shark species’ hearing capabilities, researchers noticed strong clicking noises made by rig sharks. Though an analysis of the sharks’ anatomy did not identify any sound-producing organs, the team hypothesized that the species uses its unique teeth and jaws to deliberately create fast-paced, loud clicking noises.
