A color-changing fish that puts even the kachinda to shame, lives not only in water but also on sea rocks


Rio de Janeiro, August 28, 2023, Monday

Kachinda is remembered when it comes to color change. Changing color is also a popular idiom but it will surprise you to know that a unique fish has gone beyond kachinda in changing color. The strangest thing is that this fish continues to change its color even after death. During their study, scientists have named the fish that competes with Kachinda as hog fish. The fish is also known as Lechnolimus maximus. This fish is commonly found along the Atlantic Ocean coast from the Carolinas to Brazil.

The biggest feature of this fish is that it lives on the sea rocks. Researchers believe that this fish changes color as part of a signal to protect against its enemies. The most disturbing thing for the scientists was that the dead body also changes color after death. Scientists believe that this process involves light receptors called SWS One, located below the chromatophores that give skin color. Its receptors give feed back to the fish and inform it that its skin is changing in different colors. A new study on this has been published in the Journal of Communication. Microscopy was used to examine the effect of light on different parts of the fish.

The central mountainous region in Nepal is considered their home. which is near the Himalayas and the southern Terai plains of Nepal. The Raute people live in temporary houses covered with cloth over wood. However, since they live completely cut off from the rest of the world, it becomes difficult to find their abode. The men of the Raute community are adept at hunting monkeys. Once they have followed a monkey, they do not return without hunting. The Raute people sit around a fire at night in winter. What is new is that they consider it a sin to grow seeds in the soil, so instead of farming, they use the grains found naturally in the forest as food. Every day women and children bring grain bearing plants and extract grains from them. They also eat fruits and vegetables that grow naturally. This nomadic species does no
