27 year-old Vanessa Muranga is a biologist from the Mozambique’s Natural History Museum. She goes through fish that she collected in the streams around Mount Lico. She is particularly interested in a certain striped fish. We will make DNA test after comparing with the others in the Museum’s collection, then we will know if it is a new species.”
