Introducing New Fish
Polypterus Delhezi Armoured Bichir
An incredibly hardy, nocturnal species with very poor vision, The Delhezi Bichir relies on its excellent sense of smell to locate food. This species, along with others of its genus, is one of the last surviving relatives of very ancient species. Fossils of earlier relatives have been found that date back to the Triassic Period, which occurred during the early development of the dinosaurs more than 200 million years ago.
