Fish Use Sign Language While Hunting Prey, Study Suggests

Fish Use Weird Sign Language, Study Says

Fish might have more going on in their fishy brains than thought, a new study suggests. Researchers found that at least two types -- groupers and coral trout -- use what amounts to sign language to help their hunting partners, reports LiveScience.
