Can we eat’em?
The extinction of this fish was obviously caused by global warming and income inequality.
Oh, wait.
It is not extinct if it lives somewhere.
There are many species of ducks that become extinct in Florida every summer.
World hide and seek champion.....
That will probably be a very expensive find.
Meanwhile: 99.9999999999+% of all species that have inhabited the Earth are extinct and yet people want to act like it’s a tragedy and the fault of humans when an animal or plant goes extinct. Every living thing does the following constantly for as long as it lives: It tries to expand its habitat and numbers at the expense of every other living thing on the planet.
The so-called “Web of Life” is a permanent life and death war with winner and losers every day.
Developers beware.
Oh, Gawd, no.
OUt here in CaCaLand this sort of “discovery” means that a once common critter is now put on the endangered species list — and all water projects anywhere in the area must cease, even if they are vitally needed to save human lives.
The fish isn’t endangered or threatened. This is a 4 inch fish BTW.
They found two and stated they are no longer extinct.
Then they killed those two and now it is extinct again.
And yet the world carried on without them. But now that they found one, the world will end if they do go extinct. So we better have a massive government power grab to save them.
After 82 years i’d think the stink would go away.
ESA will shut down all river traffic and all human activity withing 50 miles of the river. Its for the children, you know.
82 is old for a fish.
That was until fish management crews captured two this fall during Ohio River electrofish bass surveys.
—
Electrofish bass survey? That means those two were in for a shock.
Shades of the Snail Darter in East Tennessee.....
Where could they have come from. (two were captured in the Ohio River in the fall.) Rivers stop at state lines.
I didn’t miss it much.
