Meet Florida Museum ichthyology curator Larry Page and go behind the scenes into the Museum's fish collection. With more than 2.2 million specimens, it is one of the five largest collections in North America and one of the most important in the world. Also see a new species, Lepidocephalichthys zeppelini, named after the band Led Zeppelin. The fish's pectoral fin reminded Auburn University graduate student Justin Havird, co-author of the study describing the new species, of the double-neck guitar used by Led Zeppelin band member Jimmy Page.

Respect for the fact that you don't know who they are, but Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock bands in history. Have a listen!
