what kind of fish are in the monongahela river
Monongahela River Legend has it that Monongy, the man-fish, lives in the river. Some claim that there are records as far back as the French and Indian War (1754-1763) that describe encounters between British soldiers and strange aquatic creatures.[31] The local Indian tribes referred to this creature as "Monongy". There was even a Monongy craze in the early 1930s through the late 1950s. Sightings occurred on a weekly basis and the police department created a task force whose sole purpose was to investigate sightings of the creature. No evidence was ever produced to lend credence to the claims until May 12, 2003, when a privately owned fishing vessel was the first to take photos of the creature. The photos were available online for a short time until they were inexplicably taken down. Speculation persists that the government has procured the photographs and are covering up the existence of Monongy. Crypto-zoologists from around the world still visit the Monongahela every year to catch a glimpse of the elusive water beast.[32]
Triveni Sangam One such Triveni Sangam, in Allahabad, has the confluence of two rivers â€” the Ganges and the Yamuna and Saraswati River. The two rivers maintain their visible identity and can be identified by their different colours. The water of the Ganges is clear, while that of the Yamuna is greenish in colour.[1]
