FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — An endangered fish characterized by a long, high sharp-edged hump behind its head had been considered extinct from Grand Canyon National Park until researchers sampling for it in the lower part of the canyon caught one last week out of the Colorado River.

The catch marked the first documentation of the razorback sucker in the Grand Canyon in more than 20 years.
