Swimming "Fossils" in New Zealand Rivers!
Beautiful video about one of 🌿 New Zealand's 🌿 most ancient fish 🐟 residents! 10mins = beautiful NZ scenery, weird/fascinating 🐟, and inspiring 🐟 conservation mahi (work):
Kanakana - Ngāi Tahu Mahinga Kai

"Older than the dinosaur, the kanakana is a taonga species for Ngāi Tahu whānau especially those from Murihiku like the Blair whānau. Kanakana migrate from around August to the end of October swimming up the Waikawa and Mataura rivers on route to their spawning grounds upstream."
Kanakana = pouched lamprey (fish)
Taonga = treasured species
Ngāi Tahu = Māori (indigenous people of NZ) tribe
If you have 10 min it is definitely worth the watch!
