Chala
The Chala or "Coast" is one of the eight natural regions in Peru. It is formed by all the western lands that arise from sea level up to the height of 500 meters. The coastal desert of Peru is largely devoid of vegetation but a unique fog and mist-fed ecosystem called Lomas is scattered among hills near the Pacific coast as elevations up to . In this region, the flora includes vegetation that grows near the rivers, like the carob tree, the palo verde, salty grama grass, manglar or mangrove tree, the carrizo or giant reed and the Caña brava (ditch reed); and plants that grow in the hills, such as the Amancay or Peruvian daffodil (''Hymenocallis amancaes''), the wild tomato, the mito or Peruvian papaya ('' Vasconcellea candicans''), and the divi-divi (''Cæsalpinia coriaria''). The coastal fauna of the Chala includes sea lions, the anchovy and several seabirds. Common trees in the north are the faique, the zapote, the zapayal, the '' barrigon'' and other thorny tropical sav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It takes about 3 months for groundwater to reach the lake. The groundwater flowed into the lake at an estimated annual volume of from 1964 through 1977.

Haplochromis Sp
''Haplochromis'' is a ray-finned fish genus in the family Cichlidae. It has been used as the default "wastebin taxon" for Pseudocrenilabrinae cichlids of the East African Rift, and as such became the "largest" fish "genus". Many of these cichlids are popular aquarium fishes; like similar Haplochromini they are known as "haplos", "happies" or "haps" among aquarium enthusiasts. The genus was established by Franz Martin Hilgendorf, F.M. Hilgendorf in 1888. It was originally conceived as a subgenus of Albert C. L. G. Günther, A.C.L.G. Günther's ''"Chromis"'', at that time an even larger "wastebin genus" for Pseudocrenilabrinae cichlids. The type species of Hilgendorf was ''Haplochromis obliquidens, H. obliquidens''. ''"Chromis"'' of Günther turned out to be a junior homonym of Georges Cuvier, G. Cuvier's ocean fish genus ''Chromis'', already established in 1814, and was abolished. As the years went by, other genera of (mostly) Haplochromini were lumpers and splitters, lumped with a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
