Langosta is a word game project by Lagosta Press, created by Eduardo Menezes with collaboration from Joel Souza and others. The game originated as an experiment for the publishing house's website and was expanded into a standalone project.
Scientists identified two new contenders for the world's loudest bird—the bare-throated bellbird and the red-legged seriema—both exceeding 120 decibels, matching the white bellbird discovered in 2019. Researchers led by Jeff Podos used laser rangefinders and sound level meters to measure vocal amplitude across 123 bird species, advancing understanding of how birds produce extreme acoustic signals.
