If you've never seen a 144 year old fish before, it's kinda fascinating. Even if it is pickled.
Makes you wonder what all is out there to rediscover.

Cool story!
CPW says it will be developing a brood stock of the rediscovered species to reintroduce it into the headwaters of the San Juan River and a conservation plan to protect the fish “over the next few years.”
We've come so close to losing a lot of these western endemics, so it's always a relief to hear that a captive breeding program is being put in place to make sure we don't lose them.
