Sturgeon
There are twenty different types of known sturgeon species. The sturgeon is one of the oldest genera of fish living today. It is native to Europe, Asia and North America. The sturgeon is a bottom feeder, with a projecting wedgelike snout which it uses to stir up the bottom of the waters it calls home, and detects shells, crustaceans and small fish by sensitive barbells on its snout. The sturgeon cannot catch larger prey as it does not have any teeth.
