Chasing Giants
In Search of the World's Largest Freshwater Fish
ISBN: 9781647790578
Pub Date: 25 April 2023
Format: Hardcover
250 Pages
Beneath the surface of the world’s rivers and lakes swim mysterious giants, the real-life Loch Ness monsters and Bigfoots of the aquatic world. They are a diverse assemblage of poorly understood creatures, from gargantuan gars to sumo-sized stingrays. These ancient fish—some who have been around for hundreds of millions of years—play critical roles in their freshwater ecologies. Threatened by overfishing, habitat loss, dams, pollution and climate change, the majority of the world’s freshwater megafish are today at risk of extinction. As an aquatic ecologist and host of the National Geographic Channel’s Monster Fish series, Zeb Hogan has spent more than a decade searching for and studying these increasingly endangered river titans. In this book, he teams up with award-winning journalist Stefan Lovgren to tell for the first time the remarkable and troubling stories of the world’s megafish and chronicles the race against the clock to find and protect these ancient...

Devils Hole Pupfish
The Unexpected Survival of an Endangered Species in the Modern American West
ISBN: 9781647790103
Pub Date: 7 September 2021
Format: Paperback
256 Pages
The Devils Hole pupfish is one of the rarest vertebrate animals on the planet; its only natural habitat is a ten-by-sixty-foot pool near Death Valley, on the Nevada—California border. Isolation in Devils Hole made the fish different from its close genetic relatives, but as Devils Hole Pupfish explores, what has made the species a survivor is its many surprising connections to the people who have studied, ignored, protested or protected it.
