Real-Life Counterpart
- Arapaima gigas, commonly known as Arapaima, is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, native to the Amazon River basin in South America. This impressive species can grow up to 3 meters (10 feet) in length and weigh over 200 kilograms (440 pounds). Recognizable by its elongated body and large, bony scales, the Arapaima has a distinctive coloration, with a dark back and a lighter underside. It is a surface-dwelling fish, known for its unique respiratory system that allows it to breathe both air and water, often surfacing every 15 to 20 minutes for oxygen. Arapaima primarily feeds on fish and crustaceans, using its large mouth to capture prey. Historically, this species has been heavily fished for its meat and is now considered vulnerable due to overfishing and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are essential to protect the Arapaima and ensure the sustainability of its populations in the wild.
