Razorback sucker

Razorback sucker

The endangered razorback sucker is native to the warm-water portions of the Colorado River basin of the southwestern United States. Thanks to conservation efforts including stocking programs, populations are surviving, spawning, and showing rare signs of reproductive success. The species was proposed for reclassification in 2021.
