Ecologists Name Newly Discovered Fish After President Obama

Description:One of five newly discovered species found by ecologists with Geosyntec Consultants and Saint Louis University has been named after President Barack Obama. A darter is a small, speedy perch that lives in rivers and creeks in North America. You’ve probably heard of the snail darter, that tiny fish, a little larger than a paper clip. It found itself on the endangered species list and held up the completion of a big dam project in Tennessee. (1:05)
