FfFfFfFF 58,378 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Researches have discovered a new family of eel-like fish, named dragon snakeheads, which live in underground waters in southern India. These primitive fish are a type of “living fossil” and may have diverged from their nearest relatives more than a hundred million years ago. “We think this is the most exciting discovery in the fish world of the last decade,” says Britz, lead author of a study published recently in Scientific Reports. These strange, long-bodied fish, which dwell in aquifers of porous rock, are rarely seen, only coming to the surface after flooding from heavy rains. Britz says the family’s common name is fitting because “everyone who sees a photo of the fish is somehow reminded of a dragon.” Source: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/10/new-fish-family-dragon-snakeheads-found-india/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
