Scientists Finally Know What's Killing the Devil Fish in Mexico — And Nobody Expected This

Scientists Finally Know What's Killing the Devil Fish in Mexico — And Nobody Expected This For years, Mexican scientists wrote that the devil fish, the armored aquarium pleco that took over rivers from El Infiernillo to Bacalar, had no known predators in the country. Then three small devil fish turned up inside snook at a fishing tournament on the Palizada River. In this video, you'll meet the native hunters that learned to eat this invader one by one, from a cormorant in Villahermosa and river otters in Guatemala to a giant musk turtle on the Rio Hondo, with the study behind each one. You'll also learn why the big breeding adults are still mostly safe, what this new diet may be costing the otters, and why people could be the last hunter on the list. #DevilFish #InvasiveSpecies #Mexico #Wildlife #Ecology devil fish, pez diablo, devil fish Mexico, armored catfish, sailfin catfish, pleco, invasive species, invasive fish Mexico, what eats devil fish, devil fish predators, Pterygoplichthys, neotropical river otter, neotropic cormorant, Mexican snook, giant musk turtle, Bacalar lagoon, El Infiernillo, Usumacinta River, lionfish Mexico, biotic resistance, wildlife documentary, nature documentary, Ambrose Wild
