Uploaded by AMNHorg on Dec 21, 2009
Central Africa's roiling, rapid Lower Congo River is home to an extraordinary assortment of fish—many truly bizarre. This new video by Science Bulletins, the American Museum of Natural Historys current-science video program, features Museum scientists on a quest to understand why so many species have evolved here. Follow Curator of Ichthyology Melanie Stiassny and her team as they search the Lower Congo Rivers mysterious depths for an evolutionary driver.

@437thx1138 You should take a look at David Quammen "Song of the Dodo", a great book about island biogeography - and by island he doesn't mean only 'terrestrial' islands, but also aquatic islands... (and aerial islands).

Wasn't there a special on natgeo about this? I'm doing a presentation on her work and I can't find the video anywhere! Can anyone point me in the right direction?

this looks more fun than any water-park

I never would have thought it possible for fish species to differentiate just across a river from each other. That is an interesting discovery. One deep river too.
