Pam Wanner2 years ago2 years ago3 mins

Late this spring, more than 2,400 endangered fish made a 700-mile journey that ended in a lagoon off the Colorado River in Laughlin, Nevada. It only took them 11 hours.

Instead of navigating rapids and avoiding predators, these rare bonytail made the trip in the temperature-controlled comfort of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tanker truck.

They were the year’s final stocking for the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program, a partnership of 57 entities throughout Arizona, California and Nevada administered by the Bureau of Reclamation.
