Sunday morning vibes sturgeon making new friends in the lower Niagara River near Art Park.

These gentle giants are amazing to see underwater. There ones are 4-6’ long!!

Did you know that sturgeon (a prehistoric fish) can only reproduce in the body of water they were first born in?

Pretty cool eh?

Have you ever seen a sturgeon in the wild?
