do you have a fave freshwater fish? :)
YES
The American Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula)
Distant relatives of the paddlefish lived in modern-day North America roughly 125 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period! Its paddle-like snout contains thousands of sensory receptors which it uses to detect food! It comes especially in handy since they tend to inhabit murky waters that are difficult to see in. They also have a long lifespan, often growing older than 30 years in the wild.
