They discovered a new snakehead!

The newly-discovered Gollum snakehead fish from Kerala may have lived alongside dinosaurs

Scientists have found that the species, which possibly evolved at least 109 million years ago, is genetically distinct from other snakehead fish worldwide.

If they wind up calling it a separate family from snakeheads does that mean it can be legal?

Apparently already banned in the states, although I would be shocked if these ever even make it out of India. Very unique fish though.

Those really are beautiful fish. Wishful thinking for them to be legal I guess. I never realized they were around that long.
The elongated shape reminds me of bichirs.
