Scientists have discovered a new species of brightly-coloured fish named after Wakanda, the fictional country and a home of marvel Black Panther in the hit movie.
The six-centimetre fish was found in the ‘twilight zone’, 200 feet beneath the ocean’s surface off the coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania. In a research published at Science Daily on July 11, the scientists named the fish with deep purple scales Wakanda in honour of the fictitious nation from the comics and movie Black Panther.
