Beautiful video. Loved the facts(didn’t know those) and the music! Great find would love it if they made a tv special or nat geo video on bichirs

Nat geographic and BBC network just will provide a glimpse. This is probably the longest footage on a bichir in a documentary about the Congo or lake Tanganyika.

Here's a different one i posted on fb and my wild bichir thread. But I shortened it to the end just to show this rare specimen.

This video below is a separate polypterid

It’s definitely some great footage. Love seeing these guys out in the wild. It’s absolutely breathtaking to see them in their natural environment. They are so big too!

Very cool! I'm surprised we don't see more about them (hello, David Attenborough) because they are ancient.

Thanks for posting! It was way too short.
