Video captures catfish defying gravity by climbing up waterfall in Brazil
A group of bumblebee catfish was caught on video appearing to defy gravity, swimming up a mini waterfall in Brazil. In the video, the fish are seen climbing a waterfall in the Aquidauana River, located in the central-western state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The video was taken in November 2024 when members of the Environmental Military Police saw thousands of catfish scaling up the waterfall's slippery rocks, according to Storyful. Once the discovery was made, a team of Brazilian scientists arrived at the waterfall to study the phenomenon and published a scientific article that included the video of the fish. The study described the migration of the fish as an aggregation 'so massive that specimens were seen above each other, climbing the large cluster of fish.' According to Storyful, Brazilian scientists determined that the fish were most likely migrating upstream to spawn.

Massive Monolith Found in the Waters of Papahānaumokuākea
On April 22, which is Earth Day, researchers studying the sea floor in unexplored deepwater regions of Papahānaumokuākea found something incredible: an enormous monolith nearly 50-feet high. The Papahānaumokuākea region is an amazing place. Located off the northwestern Hawaiian Islands, the vast archipelago has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's one of the largest marine conservation areas in the world, and it is an absolute treasure trove of wonderfully interesting things. The researchers were part of a mission called 'Beyond the Blue: Papahānaumokuākea ROV and Mapping,' which aims to 'map, explore, and characterize ecologically and economically important unexplored deepwater regions of Papahānaumokuākea.' The scientists, for most of the dive, found what they were expecting. As they were thinking about calling it for the day, a volcanic dike loomed out of the darkness. 'This community was relatively consistent throughout, until the end of the dive when we found a large solitary dike feature that was nearly 15 meters (49 feet) of shear vertical wall running for over 11 meters (36 feet) in length but only four meters (13 feet) wide,' the dive log reads. 'The up-current side of this wall hosted numerous large Hemicorallium colonies with several large Primnoids corals interspersed.' Volcanic dikes are formed when magma finds its way into a crack in older rock. This particular one was nearly 7,000 feet down, and was covered in all manner of life. 'The waters in the Pacific Islands region span a diverse range of ecosystems and dynamic geological environments,' NOAA researchers wrote. 'They contain some of the last relatively pristine marine ecosystems on the planet and harbor numerous protected species, wondrous geological formations, and undiscovered shipwrecks. Papahānaumokuākea is a place of extraordinary beauty, known by a single name that commemorates the union of two Hawaiian ancestors – Papahānaumoku and Wākea – who gave rise to the Hawaiian Archipelago, the taro plant, and the Hawaiian people.'
