Angler Stuart Black loves fishing. He has caught a lot of fish in his days, but when he caught his first buffalo fish (水牛鱼) in Arizona’s Apache Lake, the US in 2024, he had a feeling that something was special about it.
“I didn’t even know why at the time.” Black said. The fish was about 6kg. It wasn’t the biggest fish he had caught. Still, he thought it was different.
It turned out that Black was right. Scientists have recently done some research and made sure that most buffalo fish in this lake are older than 100 years old. These studies changed people’s mind about the fish.
Scientists once believed buffalo fish could only live into their mid-20s. However, they had an important discovery (发现) in 2020, a study showed that a kind of buffalo fish called the bigmouth buffalo fish could live up to 112 years old. And last January, people found a 127-year-old bigmouth buffalo in Canada. Now, scientists have found another two species (品种) — the smallmouth buffalo and the black buffalo — can live more than 100 years too.
What’s more, scientists discovered that buffalo fish get healthier as they get older, while many living things become less healthy as they grow older. But buffalo fish are so different. They even live their best lives into their 80s and 90s. How interesting and crazy it is!
