Beneath the surface of the world ' s rivers and lakes swim mysterious giants, the real-life Loch Ness monsters and Bigfoots of the aquatic world. They are a diverse assemblage of poorly understood creatures, from gargantuan gars to sumo-sized stingrays. These ancient fish--some who have been around for hundreds of millions of years--play critical roles in their freshwater ecologies. Threatened by overfishing, habitat loss, dams, pollution and climate change, the majority of the world ' s freshwater megafish are today at risk of extinction. As an aquatic ecologist and host of the National Geographic Channel ' s Monster Fish series, Zeb Hogan has spent more than a decade searching for and studying these increasingly endangered river titans. In this book, he teams up with award-winning journalist Stefan Lovgren to tell for the first time the remarkable and troubling stories of the world ' s megafish and chronicles the race against the clock to find and protect these ancient leviathans before they disappear forever.
