The v13 release is not just a release either, it is also our official announcement of participation in the annual #hacktoberfest. 💻🥨
We know that we're a few days late to the party, but v13 had to get ready before. 😉
This year, the fest is opt-in for projects and we definitely want to opt into taking part in this great event! If you ever thought about starting coding or giving back to your favourite open source repositories, now is the time! Head over to the hacktoberfest website to learn more about it.
We already prepared some issues on our repositories and aim towards opening more issues for starters, but feel free to begin a hunt for improvements and fixes by yourself!
Pistol shrimp produce the loudest biological sound: their snaps create cavitation bubbles reaching ~210 dB, producing a shockwave and brief heat spike that can stun or kill small prey. They wield a giant snapper claw that fires those bubbles, can regrow a lost claw while the smaller pincer transforms into a new snapper, and even inspired species names like Synalpheus pinkfloydi — tiny but mighty. 🔊🦐💥

🐟 Rare Encounter with the “Sea Devil” near the Canary Islands!
For the first time in history, biologists managed to capture this mysterious deep-sea predator on video. Usually, only larvae or dead specimens are observed, as anglerfish live at extreme depths where almost no light reaches. But this time, the fish rose to the surface and appeared in front of the researchers’ camera — a truly unique observation for science!

Starfish do not have a brain. They have a decentralized nervous system that controls their movements and functions. 🌟🧠

We present you the Coelacanths (Latimeria spp.) They were once thought extinct, only known from fossils — until living specimens were found. Two living species are known:
L. chalumnae: western Indian Ocean waters.
L. menadoensis: Indonesian waters.
Both species are considered threatened. Individuals may live 50–70 years.
