Was it Nessie?
Paul Fugleberg
FINLEY POINT — After a prolonged absence of Flathead Nessie
sightings, the lake’s elusive monster may be out there after all. That’s what
Pam Moriarty, her daughter Laura Barthrop and Justin Lagemann are wondering
after the trio viewed a strange object swimming against the current about 7:30
p.m., Saturday, May 12.From the picture windows in Pam cliff top home on the
northwest end of Finley Point, they watched for about five minutes as it swam
northeasterly away from shore toward the main part of the lake. They were so
surprised that Pam briefly forgot her camera was nearby. She rushed to retrieve
it and managed to snap a picture, but it was too far away to identify.
New 'bony-tongue'
fish discovered in Myanmar
mongabay.com May 18, 2012
new species of arowana, a highly valued aquarium fish, has
been described from southern Madagascar. The description is published in last
month's issue of the journal Aqua.The arowana, which is named Scleropages
inscriptus, comes from the Tenasserim or Tananthayi River basin on the Indian
Ocean coast of peninsular Myanmar. According to Tyson Roberts, the
ichthyologist who described the species, Scleropages inscriptus is
distinguished from the closely-related Asian arowana (Scleropages formosus) by
the maze-like markings on its scales and facial bones. Like zebra, each fish is
believed to have a unique pattern.
