Johann Jakob Kaup
Johann Jakob von Kaup (10 April 1803 – 4 July 1873) was a German naturalist. A proponent of natural philosophy, he believed in an innate mathematical order in nature and he attempted biological classifications based on the Quinarian system. Kaup is also known for having coined popular prehistoric taxa like '' Pterosauria'' and ''Machairodus''. Biography He was born at Darmstadt. After studying at Göttingen and Heidelberg he spent two years at Leiden, where his attention was specially devoted to the amphibians and fishes. He then returned to Darmstadt as an assistant in the grand ducal museum, of which in 1840 he became inspector. In 1829 he published ''Skizze zur Entwickelungsgeschichte der europäischen Thierwelt'', in which he regarded the animal world as developed from lower to higher forms, from the amphibians through the birds to the beasts of prey; but subsequently he repudiated this work as a youthful indiscretion, and on the publication of Darwin's ''Origin of Species' ...

Longsnout Pipefish
The longsnout pipefish (''Leptonotus norae'') is a pipefish of the family Syngnathidae. It has only been recorded from midwater and bottom trawls at depths of . The habitat and biology of this species are almost unknown but juveniles have been recorded in the stomachs of blue penguins and Snares penguins. Etymology The fish is named per Waite in 1911: “I have associated with this pretty species the name of Miss Nora Niven,” for whom the trawler ''Nora Niven'', from which the type specimen was collected, was named; Nora was the youngest daughter of James Just Niven (1856-1913) the owner of the Napier Fish Supply Company in Napier, New Zealand, from whom Waite “received many kindnesses while in Napier”.

Syngnathus Watermeyeri
The estuarine pipefish or river pipefish (''Syngnathus watermeyeri'') is a species of fish in the family Syngnathidae. It is endemic to South Africa and has been sporadically recorded in the estuarine portions of the Kariega, Kasouga, Bushmans, East Kleinemonde and West Kleinemonde rivers. It can be readily distinguished from another southern African pipefish with which it shares its habitat, ''S. temminckii'', by its much shorter snout. The estuarine pipefish is most commonly found in beds of the eelgrass '' Zostera capensis''. Conservation status The estuarine pipefish was declared extinct in 1994, but was rediscovered in 2006 in areas where it had not been reported in over four decades. This pipefish is Critically Endangered due to both natural and human threats to the brackish estuaries and local eelgrass beds in which it lives. Captive breeding A captive population of ''Syngnathus watermeyeri'' is held at uShaka Marine World in Durban. Etymology The type was ...
