In 2008, Jen Reynolds, the Aquarium’s Senior Biologist, spent nearly two months living on the Zambian shores of Lake Tanganyika, in East Africa. With McMaster University scientists, Reynolds studied cichlid fishes found nowhere else in the world. Lake Tanganyika is the second deepest and longest lake in the world. It contains more than 200 such endemic cichlids and is considered an area of extremely high biodiversity. Cichlids exhibit fascinating social behavior. Jen spent more than 150 hours scuba diving and observing the fish in their natural habitat. Join Jen to learn more about living on Lake Tanganyika and the fascinating endemic fishes that call it home.

Ever wonder how cheaters are successful or why they even chose to cheat the system in the first place? The Brown-headed Cowbird is one successful cheater when it comes to reproducing! As brood parasites, Brown-headed Cowbirds reproduce by laying their own eggs in the nest of host species and, at the expense of the host's time, energy and fecundity, Brown-headed Cowbirds provide no parental care to their own young.
