Arowana


On your next trip to the zoo, don't forget to see the fish!!!!

Arowana are a really cool and pretty fish. Their bodies are covered in large,heavy, mosaic like scales.

These fish are jumpers. They have been reported as to have jumped almost 2 meters to grab a insect. They are nicknamed "water monkeys" for this very reason.

They take care of their young by having the eggs and babies live in their mouths!!!
A baby may leave the mouth and go back to the mouth until they are old enough to live on their own.
