However, subsequent observations showed that this was not true and that these stories originated from the fact that she was confused with the striped archer, a fish similar in color, which at that time was attributed to the same family of scale-finned fish. In fact, it turned out that the long muzzle serves her to search for food, consisting of various small aquatic animals, which usually stay between stones or in the crevices of stones, which form the basis of her diet [4].

In the middle of the 19th century, the long-snouted butterflyfish aroused great interest among ichthyologists, who described that it feeds on insects and gets them as follows: having noticed an insect sitting on a branch, it sticks out its head and so deftly ejects water from its mouth that it knocks down its intended prey into the water and there it already seizes it (it was even nicknamed "sprayer").

We have some bittersweet news to share about a recent addition to our western lowland gorilla family, Patty. Working with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan for gorillas, we came to the collective decision to move Patty to another accredited Zoo. The well-being of our animals is always our top priority.

As we monitored our troop's dynamics, it became clear that the new family group was not benefitting the needs of each individual. This also happens within gorilla troops in the wild: new members to a troop may cause social changes that subside quickly, or slowly, or sometimes not at all. By observing the individual gorilla’s behaviors carefully and giving them every opportunity to work out their differences, our dedicated animal care team has facilitated Patty’s move to a new family, much as would happen in nature in this situation.

While she only spent a short time with us, we will miss her and are proud to work with the AZA and Gorilla SSP to provide the best life for Patty and all the gorillas in our care.

The fish reaches a length of up to 22 cm. It is a territorial species, living alone or in pairs in the tropical seas of the Indo-Pacific region from the Seychelles to Tahiti and Pitcairn. It inhabits outer reefs. The fish feeds on small crustaceans and other invertebrates. At the base of the tail there is a black “eye spot” that serves to disorient potential enemies.

The common butterflyfish differs from the yellow butterflyfish (Forcipiger flavissmus) by having a longer snout, smaller mouth, and dark scales on the throat. In addition, it has only 10 to 11 rays on its dorsal fin, while F. flavissmus has 12 rays.

The range covers the territory from southern Japan and Taiwan to the entire Coral Triangle, northern Thailand, the Andaman, Nicobar and Solomon Islands, northern Australia. The area of \u200b\u200bthe range is about 17,300 km².

They are caught for use in the aquarium trade, but there is no evidence of how much this affects the population size. There are no other serious threats to the abundance of the species.
