The world's largest freshwater fish has been caught in Cambodia's Mekong River, according to U.S. and Cambodian scientists. The giant stingray measured almost 4 meters from snout to tail and weighed in at a fraction under 300 kilograms. The previous world record was a 293 kilo Mekong giant catfish, recorded in Thailand in 2005. The stingray was snagged by a local fisherman on the night of June 13, south of the town of Stung Treng.

🌊 Humphead Wrasse – Guardian of the Reef 🐟 | All About Animals The humphead wrasse is a stunning reef giant with blue-green scales, big lips, and a signature forehead hump. Living in the Indo-Pacific, it helps protect coral reefs by eating crown-of-thorns starfish. These fish can grow over 6 feet, live up to 30 years, and even change sex as they age. Sadly, they’re endangered due to overfishing and habitat loss—making their protection crucial for healthy oceans. #humpheadwrasse #wrasse #fish #
