Pareuchiloglanis Anteanalis
''Pareuchiloglanis'' is a genus of sisorid catfishes native to Asia. These species are rheophilic catfish chiefly found in the headwaters of major rivers in South and East Asia. They originate from the Brahmaputra drainage in India, east and south to the Yangtze drainage in China and the Annamese Cordillera drainages in southern Vietnam. Two species are known from the Mekong River: ''P. myzostoma'' and ''P. gracilicaudata''. Four species are known from the (upper Mekong River) drainage of China: ''P. abbreviatus'', ''P. gracilicaudata'', ''P. myzostoma'' and ''P. prolixdorsalis''. Taxonomy The monophyly of this genus remains doubtful. In 2007, a study rejected the monophyly of this genus. The premaxillary tooth bands in the catfish tribe Glyptosternina are important in identifying genera; in ''Pareuchiloglanis'', the tooth band is divided into two patches, appearing in two types. In one type, the premaxillary tooth patches appear separate, divided down the middle by a deeper in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lancangjiang River
The Mekong or Mekong River is a trans-boundary river in East Asia and Southeast Asia. It is the world's twelfth longest river and the third longest in Asia. Its estimated length is , and it drains an area of , discharging of water annually. From the Tibetan Plateau the river runs through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls in the Mekong make navigation difficult. Even so, the river is a major trade route between western China and Southeast Asia. Names The Mekong was originally called ''Mae Nam Khong'' from a contracted form of Tai shortened to ''Mae Khong''.

Fang Shu-Miao
A fang is a long, pointed tooth. In mammals, a fang is a modified maxillary tooth, used for biting and tearing flesh. In snakes, it is a specialized tooth that is associated with a venom gland (see snake venom). Spiders also have external fangs, which are part of the chelicerae. Fangs are most common in carnivores or omnivores, but some herbivores, such as fruit bats, have them as well. They are generally used to hold or swiftly kill prey, such as in large cats. Omnivorous animals, such as bears, use their fangs when hunting fish or other prey, but they are not needed for consuming fruit. Some apes also have fangs, which they use for threats and fighting. However, the relatively short canines of humans are not considered to be fangs. Fangs in religion, mythology and legend Certain mythological and legendary creatures such as dragons, gargoyles and yakshas are commonly depicted with prominent fangs. The fangs of vampires are one of their defining characteristics. The iconogra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
