[00:00:00]Hold on to your spurs, partners, because you're about to meet a creature that makes T-Rex look like a newcomer.

[00:00:05]>> [music] >> This is the Aspred, a tiny 4-in fish swimming out of Romania that's over 65 million years old.

[00:00:13]That means this little fella survived the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, yet behaves like an introverted outlaw.

[00:00:21]It doesn't have a swim bladder, meaning [music] it can't swim up into the open water.

[00:00:26]It just scoots along the riverbed like a miniature tumbleweed. It's so aggressively social that it hides under rocks all day and only comes out at night to pick [music] fights over territory and eat insect larvae.

[00:00:39]It's the rarest fish in Europe, once down to just a handful of individuals in a single river.
