More paddlefish





You requested more pictures so here they are. These should give a better look at the "paddle" part. They have huge mouths with no teeth and eat in similar fashion to a whale by filtering small bugs, plankton, algea type things from the water.






I also found out that I gave some bad information before and they are located in a lot more places than I was told. This map indicates their habitat in the U.S.

It is so hard for me to believe that these are found in the US. They are FREAKY looking. I had never seen a picture of them in the water. It looks like something that would be found in the movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
