The family of marine fishes Hexagrammidae incorporates the greenlings. These fish are found on the continental shelf in the temperate or subarctic waters of the North Pacific. They are a well-known family in the littoral zone from southern California north to the Aleutian Islands. The most commercially important species is the lingcod, a common food fish.
Ornithopsis was a medium-sized Early Cretaceous sauropod dinosaur, from England.
The lingcod or ling cod, also known as the buffalo cod or cultus cod, is a fish of the greenling family Hexagrammidae. It is the only extant member of the genus Ophiodon. A slightly larger, extinct species, Ophiodon ozymandias, is known from fossils from the Late Miocene of Southern California.
The snaggletooth shark, or fossil shark, is a species of weasel shark in the family Hemigaleidae, and the only extant member of the genus Hemipristis. It is found in the Indo-West Pacific, including the Red Sea, from southeast Africa to the Philippines, north to China, and south to Australia, at depths from 1 to 130 metres. This shark can be found near the bottom of the water column of coastal areas, but can be found at continental and insular shelves. Its length is up to 240 cm (7.87 ft). Despite being only vulnerable to extinction, this shark is very rarely seen.
The lesser spear-nosed bat is a bat species from South America. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela.
Phyllostomus is a genus of leaf-nosed bat. It contains four described species.
The Majoidea are a superfamily of crabs which includes the various spider crabs.
Podocarpus elongatus is a species of conifer in the Podocarpaceae family. In contrast to other yellowwood species of Southern Africa, Podocarpus elongatus resembles an enormous, round, multi-stemmed bush in its habit.
The Del Norte salamander is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae endemic to the United States in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California.
The elongate mbuna is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi where it is known from Mkata Bay and Mbamba Bay. It prefers areas with rocky substrates where it can graze on algae. It can reach a length of 9.5 centimetres (3.7 in) SL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.
Cancelloxus elongatus, the whiteblotched klipfish, is a species of clinid found in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean along the South African coast. It prefers sandy habitats with nearby rocks at depths of from 10 to 25 metres. It can reach a maximum length of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) TL. This species preys primarily on zoobenthos.
Tenuidactylus elongatus, also known as the Yangihissar gecko or Kashghar thin-toed gecko, is a lizard species in the genus Tenuidactylus. Its type locality is Yangihissar. It is found in Turkestan, southern Mongolia, and China..
Avitomyrmex is an extinct genus of bulldog ants in the subfamily Myrmeciinae which contains three described species. The genus was described in 2006 from Ypresian stage deposits of British Columbia, Canada. Almost all the specimens collected are queens, with an exception of a single fossilised worker. These ants are large, and the eyes are also large and well developed; a sting is present in one species. The behaviour of these ants may have been similar to extant Myrmeciinae ants, such as foraging solitarily for arthropod prey and never leaving pheromone trails to food sources. Avitomyrmex has not been assigned to any tribe, instead generally being regarded as incertae sedis within Myrmeciinae. However, its identity as an ant has been challenged, although it is undoubtedly a hymenopteran insect.
Pogonocherini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the Lamiinae subfamily.
Sebastes elongatus is a species of fish in the rockfish family found in the northeast pacific
Notoscopelus elongatus is a species of lanternfish in the family Myctophidae. It is endemic to the Mediterranean Sea where it is found in deep water habitats, rising to near the surface to feed at night and descending to great depths by day. It is a common species with no particular threats, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed its conservation status as being of least concern.
