Polypterus in movies/ documentaries

[lardieleftover]

I'm fairly certain that i saw a Cuviers bichir skull while watching a show on netflix as they were mentioning guy named Cuvier. Always looking for decent polypterus videos that are informative!

Cuvier is one of the names given to the senegal Bichir, the is a video with a large bichir swimming in one of the lakes I believe it is lake Malawi. The vid is called the Congo a British productin on YouTube. National Geographic should do a documentary on polypterus in the future

There was a documentary I found on youtube a long while back that was about lake tanganyika that featured an endli. But now I can't find it.

Here's the old link if it'll help anyone.

Would be cool for discovery/nat geo to showcase some more freshwater fish....how many times can you watch the same old "ocean" stuff"
