What is the sandstone?

Sandfish is a common name for six different types of animals that live or struggle in sand, including one that is not a fish at all. Sandfish ( Scincus scincus ), a kind of skinka, is a lizard that has gained its misleading name because of the way it floats under the sand in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. This skillful lizard method, how to move with sand, inspired scientists about materials to improve industrial technologies that process granular substances such as gravel or flour. This yellow and brown -brown lizard often held as a pet grows about 8 inches (20 cm). This skinny fish, which is located in sandy, shallow tropical waters around the world, is hiding under the sand or mud during the day and hunting at night. It grows on about 20 inches (55 cm) and sometimes hunted for food.

Southern sandfishes ( leptoscopidae ) are a family of fish with four separate species. They are characterized by lined lips, long fins and eyes near the top of the head. One drUh, commonly known as the mouth of Stargazer, lives in shallow waters throughout New Zealand.

Belted Sandfish ( Serranus subligarius ) grows to 4 inches (10 cm) and can be found in the warm western Atlantic from North Carolina to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. This fish resembled a small sea bass, is hermaphroditic, which means that it has both male and female genital organs in different stages of their lives.

One sandstone fisherman, a type of sea cucumber ( Holuthuria Scabra ), is sometimes jokingly called sea cucumber "garlic bread" because it is a tasty delicacy in China and its shape and size, up to 8 cm) (20 cm). Sometimes even black bars along the back that look like Like Grill Marks. Excessive harvesting and human development of coastal regions where this type of sandstone lives has led to the fact that it was called a vulnerable species in Singapore.

The most precious type of sand is Clanwilliam SandfisH ( Elbeo Seeber ), which only lives in the Olifants River in South Africa. Since 2001, invasive fish species and destruction of the distribution area of ​​this fish have been reduced to only 5 percent of what was once. This lower feeder thrives on algae and small invertebrates. The Oorlogian Nature Reserve in South Africa maintains a healthy population of this fish, which is listed as endangered.
