How Dogs Really Listen to Us, and How Pufferfish Puff

The video explores how dogs process human speech, focusing on prosodic and phonetic cues. An experiment by the University of Sussex shows dogs use different brain hemispheres to process these cues, similar to humans. The video also discusses puffer fish, detailing their inflation mechanism as a defense strategy. New research reveals that puffer fish can breathe while inflated, using a specialized sphincter to keep water in their stomachs, but this process is energy-intensive.
