2005-extinct giant predatory fish spotted three times in Cambodia's Mekong River.
A giant predatory fish, believed extinct since 2005, has been spotted three times in Cambodia's Mekong River. Known for a distinct knob on its lower jaw and yellow patches around its eyes, the fish can grow up to 4 feet long. Recent sightings offer hope for its survival amid threats from industrial pollution, overfishing, and over 700 dams that impede migratory species. Researchers aim to collaborate with local communities in Thailand and Laos to investigate its presence in the river.
