Arapaima Gigas
Last Saturday, Roy and I brought our wards Julian and Kyla to the Avilon Zoo in Rodriguez (formerly Montalban), Rizal. There we saw several Arapaima Gigas, at the pond separating the lions from the visitors. Wow! Said to be from the Amazon, we were amazed at the length of the fish.
From our view which is the top view, it looks like there are anacondas in the water. Roy and Julian fed it chicken heads and it leapt, snapping so hard i was startled. It was a scary yet fascinating fish, resembling an arowana. Knowing about the fish and curious as to what it looks like as a whole, i searched the net and found the following pictures below.
