Abida polyodon is a species of air-breathing land snails, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Chondrinidae.
Abida polyodon is found in France (the Lower Rhone drainage, Massif Central, and the Eastern Pyrenees), Andorra, and Spain (most of Catalonia and the island of Menorca). [1]
The species can be found sheltering under stones in places with a calcareous substrate. It is also occasionally found on the surface of rocks. [1]
Paddlefish are basal Chondrostean ray-finned fish. They have been referred to as "primitive fish" because they have evolved with few morphological changes since the earliest fossil records of the Early Cretaceous, 120 to 125 million years ago. Polyodontids are almost exclusively North American and Chinese, both extant and in the fossil record.
The Russian sturgeon, also known as the diamond sturgeon or Danube sturgeon, is a species of fish in the family Acipenseridae. It is found in Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine. It is also found in the Caspian Sea. This fish can grow up to about 235 cm (93 in) and weigh 115 kg (254 lb). Russian sturgeon mature and reproduce slowly, making them highly vulnerable to fishing. It is distinguished from other Acipenser species by its short snout with a rounded tip as well as its lower lip which is interrupted at its center.
Petrochromis polyodon is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika found in areas with rocky substrates where it can graze on algae. This species coexists with other herbivorous cichlids such as Tropheus moorii and Telmatochromis temporalis. Individuals can reach lengths of 21 cm (8.3 in). They can be found in the aquarium trade.

Chiloglanis polyodon is a species of upside-down catfish endemic to Sierra Leone where it is only known from the headwaters of the Bagbwe River. This species grows to a length of 5.2 centimetres (2.0 in) TL.
Synodontis polyodon is a species of upside-down catfish native to Gabon where it occurs in the Ogowe River basin. It was first described by French zoologist Léon Vaillant in 1895, based upon a holotype discovered in the Ogooué River, near Adouma, Gabon. The specific name "polyodon" comes from the Greek words poly, meaning "many" and odon, meaning "tooth", referring to the many teeth in this species.
