About this video

🔥 Did you know fish have a built-in radar system?

Fish use a special sensory organ called the lateral line, which detects the tiniest vibrations and pressure changes in the water. This hidden “sixth sense” helps them avoid predators, locate food, and swim in perfect coordination with schools of other fish.

✅ Lateral line = vibration & pressure sensor
✅ Key for survival in dark or murky waters
✅ Enables synchronized schooling behavior
✅ Nature’s design for underwater navigation

🚀 From rivers to oceans, the lateral line proves how evolution equips animals with extraordinary tools to thrive.

📍 Concept: Sensory Biology in Fish
🔬 Tech: Hydrodynamics, Evolutionary Adaptation
