Climbing Perch 2

Until 1927 it was believed that the climbing perch could climb trees, this however was an error rectified by an Indian expert on fish, Dr. Das. These fish found living, often poised in the fork of a tree had reached their high loft via the talons of a bird. For some 250 years it was believed that these fish, found living in the trees, could indeed climb. Climbing perch can be found across southern and southeast Asia, from India to the Philippians.
