Animalia›Chordata›Actinopterygii›Polypteriformes›Polypteridae
📍 Upper Congo River, Democratic Republic of Congo
Mid-sized bichir with a grey body and irregular dark banding. More manageable than the Endlicheri but still a substantial fish. Like all bichirs it can breathe atmospheric air and can survive brief periods out of water.
