Araripe Manakin
The Araripe manakin (''Antilophia bokermanni'') is a species of critically endangered bird from the family of manakins (Pipridae). It was discovered in 1996 and scientifically described in 1998.

As in the helmeted manakin, it is a relatively large and long-tailed manakin, with a total length of c. . The strikingly patterned males have predominantly white plumage. With the exception of the white little wings coverts, the wings are black as the tail. From the f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Pterolebias'' is a genus of killifish from the family Rivulidae which are native to temporary swamps and ponds in South America. It includes two groups, which sometimes are regarded as separate genera: ''Pterolebias'' (''sensu stricto'') from the southern Amazon and Paraguay (including the Pantanal) river basins, and ''Gnatholebias'' from the Orinoco (including the Llanos) river basin.
