Brienomyrus longianalis is a small freshwater fish from Africa. It generates weak electrical discharges to navigate in the water and find prey.
Brienomyrus longianalis differs from related species by its very long snout and special electrical signals. This fish helps maintain balance in African rivers by eating small invertebrates.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
