The Congo's freshwater elephant fish, such as the one seen above, use their long snouts to sift through river bottom sediments for food--another example of the Congo as a hotbed of evolution.
The Goliath tiger fish, said to grow up to 150 pounds (68 kilograms), may be able to overcome barriers in the tumultuous and turbid Congo River that smaller fish cannot.
Looks like a fresh water ‘Cuda.
think I’ll pass going swimming there
I CAN HAS KITTEN?
I see fish.
I don’t see any “evolution”.
The emperor has no clothes.
Fish in different river systems having different adaptations to their environments. The Mekong giant catfish wouldn’t last a week in the Congo!!!

What? How about a hotbed of diversity of species? Why put the word “evolution” into this? It’s a specific species of fish that has survived because it can do something that other fish cannot - sift for food though the river sediment.
Let’s take this simply - how many evolutionary ‘changes’ would be needed from saw the scary tiger fish to the elephant fish? 5? 10? 50? 500? And if just ONE of them doesn’t happen, then the elephant fish - or the tiger fish - doesn’t exist. Which one came first? Neither? What was the common ancestor, then?
EVOLUTION IS A SHAM. Survival of the ‘fittest’, sure, I can understand that. It means survival of the species best suited for the local/natural environment. Evolution? Nah...
They are sure ugly, but I wonder if they taste good?
Why you lock your doors down on the bayou.
Sounds fishy to me. Bigger and more savage and that’s ‘evolution’? Where are the hospitals these things have built? If Maslow and Darwin were correct, these things are merely meaner and sadly unactualized... (sniff)
