An oranda is a breed of goldfish characterized by a prominent bubble-like “hood” on the head. The headgrowth or hood may be a prominent growth on the top of the head or may encase the entire face except the mouth.
The Butterfly telescope goldfish is a variant of telescope goldfish that is distinguished by the butterfly-shaped caudal fins when viewed from above. It is a variety that has only recently been deemed a major lineage by a few published works.
China Post issued a set of special stamps entitled “National Key Protected Wildlife (First-class)”. Three out of the eight selected creatures, including the Hainan Gibbon, the Chinese White Dolphin, and the Green Sea Turtle, can be seen in south China’s Hainan Province. The Chinese White Dolphin can be spotted in the ocean nearby Hainan Island. Hailed as “mermaids” and “giant pandas of the sea” in China, the Chinese White Dolphins newly discovered in the sea area southwest of Hainan were judged to be an independent troupe after analysis of recordings of their whistles and other sounds.
