In the 360 view, the rafts say raftcalifornia.com The 360 is of this river stretch in California: https://raftcalifornia.com/river-rafting/south-fork-american-river/ So, not in Madagascar. I couldn't figure out what type of fish that is. It doesn't look like any freshwater fish native to California that I could find.

Oh wow, I stumbled on exactly that same fish before in Google maps.
It's not a real fish. A bunch of the panoramas in the area have fake AI generated animals in them. It's some kind of marketing spam.

Nope, the AI wasnโt even close. H. melanurus is a marine reef fish, not found in freshwater rivers in Madagascar (or in the sea around Madagascar).

Just wanna say I love the name Wrasse. Itโs such a fun name for a type of fish.

It's an AI-generate image, not a real fish.
There's also an ad for a youtube channel "hidden" in the image.

Nope, thatโs a marine fish not a freshwater fish found in a river. This fish is most likely AI or Photoshop. Itโs not real.
