Pterotyphis fimbriatus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. [1]
The gastropods, commonly known as snails and slugs, belong to a large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda.
The mata mata, mata-mata, or matamata is a freshwater turtle species found in South America, primarily in the Amazon and Orinoco basins. It is one of two extant species in the genus Chelus, the other being Chelus orinocensis.
Captain Frederick Wollaston Hutton was an English-New Zealand scientist who applied the theory of natural selection to explain the origins and nature of the natural history of New Zealand. An army officer in early life, he then had an academic career in geology and biology. He became one of the most able and prolific nineteenth century naturalists of New Zealand.
Sea snail is a common name for slow-moving marine gastropod molluscs, usually with visible external shells, such as whelk or abalone. They share the taxonomic class Gastropoda with slugs, which are distinguished from snails primarily by the absence of a visible shell.
The Argentine snake-necked turtle, also known commonly as the South American snake-necked turtle is a species of turtle in the family Chelidae. The species is known for the long neck to which its common names refer. Despite appearances, the Argentine snake-necked turtle is probably more closely related to the mata mata than to the Australian snake-necked turtles in the genus Chelodina. H. tectifera is found in northern Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and southern Brazil. Not much is known about it, as it has not been extensively researched. It is a popular pet in the exotic pet trade.
The fringed long-footed myotis is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Pachycerianthus fimbriatus is a cerianthid anemone that burrows in substrate and lives in a semi-rigid tube made of felted nematocysts. The anemone is often seen in bright orange to red.
Pterotyphis is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Muricidae, the rock snails.
Pterotyphis eos paupereques is a subspecies of small predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Freshwater snails are gastropod mollusks which live in fresh water. There are many different families. They are found throughout the world in various habitats, ranging from ephemeral pools to the largest lakes, and from small seeps and springs to major rivers. The great majority of freshwater gastropods have a shell, with very few exceptions. Some groups of snails that live in freshwater respire using gills, whereas other groups need to reach the surface to breathe air. In addition, some are amphibious and have both gills and a lung. Most feed on algae, but many are detritivores and some are filter feeders.
Gemixystus fimbriatus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Pterotyphis pinnatus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Pterotyphis ryalli is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Gemixystus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Trophoninae of the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Lataxiena is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Magilus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Tripterotyphinae is a subfamily in the family Muricidae.
Leptoconchus is a genus of medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, subfamily Coralliophilinae, the coral snails or coral shells.
Terrestrial molluscs or land molluscs (mollusks) are an ecological group that includes all molluscs that live on land in contrast to freshwater and marine molluscs. They probably first occurred in the Carboniferous, arising from freshwater ones.
The Coomsaharn char is a species of lacustrine char fish in the family Salmonidae.
