Fish comes out of its hiding place for the first time in hundreds of years
Oh my, have we got lucky. The so-called "extinct" Steller's Sea Cow was found swimming in the warm waters of northern Prochnost. Fisher Artem Kuznetsov has been fishing for salmon when something caught his eye. "I was just there, waiting for the fish to get the bait, until I saw large ripples in the water. Then I saw a the head of the fish, which I thought was a rock. When I threw a pebble at it, it showed me its face. I was astonished; I have never saw a fish like this. There was some ropes that I have packed, so I used it to make a net. I set up the net and caught the fish. It was not easy."
Kuznetsov called his wife over and she called the official Prochnost SeaLife Society (PSS). "This wasn't a common fish. It wasn't mutated. It was the extinct Steller's Sea Cow," said the boss of the PSS. "We did extensive research and found that this fish was said to extincted in the 18th century."
The PSS found 50 more Steller's Sea Cows. They are now under their care. The fish is now called Skrytie ryby which is Russian for "hiding fish".
