The new species of killifish, Nothobranchius sylvaticus, was discovered in Kenya’s Gongoni Forest, which is 7.09 million years old. This species is notable as the first known forest-dwelling killifish that is endemic to the region. Killifish are resilient and adaptable, capable of surviving in extreme environments. Their discovery adds to the rich biodiversity of Kenya, a country already known for its diverse wildlife and habitats, including major lakes like Lake Turkana and Lake Victoria.
