Which fascinating fact is actually a fib?
- A paddlefish’s snout detects electrical signals put out by itty-bitty crustaceans, insects, and other animals that drift in the water as plankton.
- Except for its jaw, a paddlefish doesn’t contain any bones. Its skeleton is made of cartilage, the stiff-but-bendy tissue found in the tip of your nose.
- Like other plankton-eaters, such as whales, paddlefish grow quite large. The biggest ever caught was 18 feet long and weighed over 5,000 pounds.
