Information and personal observation of this large insect.
Butterfly fish are among the prettiest of all fish. They swim among the coral reefs and are found in many splendid colors and shapes.
With his black and white plumage, long crest and bright yellow eyes, the male tufted duck is a handsome and striking bird, which makes them very popular in captivity. As they are quiet and peaceful they are ideal for ornamental waters. They are the most common diving ducks and, being quite tame, have adapted well to man-made lakes, even those in busy city parks.
Water buffalo are sometimes used as pack animals but they are usually found pulling ploughs or lumber or providing power for devices used in agriculture.
