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...

From Chapter 1: Ashley Primack “The Night that Forever Changed My Life”
As we searched for places to go, we were watching people getting hit by flying bullets in all directions, and the length of the breaks in between the blasts were unpredictable. We could not hide in the same spot for too long, as there was no safe area to be.

During the shooting periods, my friend pushed me down, laying on top of me, to protect me from a potential wound. We saw people screaming, crying, and searching for their loved ones that they entered the concert with. As we were running, we saw people taking off their cowboy boots, dropping their purses, and leaving the rest of their belongings....
