    Another fish that fascinates me is the Luvarus Imperialis. A specimen found washed ashore at Ft. Myers, Fl. in 1941 (200 lbs) was packed in dry ice and rushed to your facility. It was the first ever found in American waters and, from my understanding, an exact reproduction, made from casts and measurements, went on public display. One week after the 200-lb specimen was found, a 192-pounder was caught ALIVE up the coast off St. Pete. Another one (276-lbs[?]) was found in the Gulf in 1969!

    @chingstahpowah123 Most of them are probably in Ethanol (~70%), especially that coelacanth specimen (ethanol is pretty harmless to dunk your hand in). Fish specimens used to be stored in formalin (4-10% Formaldehyde) before the health risks were known, so it's likely that in an old collection such as the one at the AMNH, there are at least a few still stored in formalin.

    @Transfectingood I don't know I guess it was the only one I was interested in. Plus they didn't focus on any of the others.

    Video would have been better if the music wasn't playing while she was talking.
