Appshare: Ikan-Ikan Asal Sungai Amazone

Sore gan, ane mau share tentang ikan" penghuni sungai amazone gan..

1. Piranha
Piranha adalah ikan air tawar omnivora yang hidup di sungai-sungai di Amerika Selatan. Di sungai-sungai Venezuela, mereka disebut caribes. Mereka terkenal dengan gigi tajam dan pemakan daging. Namun, meskipun Hollywood sering mempublikasikan piranha dengan negatif, piranha tidak seberbahaya itu, dan sering dibudidayakan di rumah dan kantor.

2. Pirarucu / Arapaima
Arapaima, pirarucu, atau paiche (Arapaima gigas) adalah jenis ikan air tawar terbesar di dunia yang berasal dari perairan daerah tropis Amerika Selatan. Ikan Arapaima dapat tumbuh maksimal sepanjang 3 meter dan berat 200 kilogram. Saat ini sudah sangat jarang terdapat arapaima yang berukuran lebih dari 2 meter karena ikan ini sering ditangkapi untuk dikonsumsi penduduk atau diekspor ke negara lain.

3. Amazon Catfish

Enemies: Fishermen.

Facts: The Amazon Basin is home to over 1000 species of catfish - some of them less than 1/4 inch, some of them over three hundred pounds!
Some Giant catfish can grow up to more than three meters long and measure over 40 inches around.
In the Amazon basin the local people call them "pirarara".
They are valued as food throughout the Amazon region.
Half the catfish species in the world are in the Amazon basin.
Fishermen love to fish for them as they put up a tremendous fight.
The biggest catfish in the Amazon (and the whole world) is the piraiba (Brachyplatystoma filamentosum). It is said that these monsters can exceed 450 pounds and 9 feet in length. Commercially caught specimens have exceeded 350 pounds.
The piraiba is so big that it is called "grandpa" and all others are called youngsters, even the ones who weigh 100 pounds.
During the rainy season, when the Amazon River floods, the giant catfish swims amongst the rainforest trees.

4. Anaconda

Eunectes Murinus, Sang Anaconda Raksasa

Anaconda ( Eunectes Murinus) merupakan ular terbesar dari Amerika Latin (Amerika Selatan). Seberapa besar ukuran terpanjang dan terberat yang sesungguhnya dari Anaconda tidak pernah terukur secara eksak. Namun, masyarakat di Amerika Latin pernah melihat ukuran Anaconda di Sungai Amazon mencapai 50 kaki atau sekitar 15 meter. Penuturan masyarakat ini diperkuat setelah pada tahun 2008, ilmuwan menemukan fosil ular raksasa di Columbia (Amerika Selatan). Para paleantologi memperkirakan panjang spesies fosil ular ini mencapai 43 kaki (12,5 meter ) dengan massa mencapai 1,1 ton.
