Why the mudskipper is called the jumping champion
In the high-tide zone along China's coast or in the brackish mudflats of estuaries, there lives a small fish only a few dozen millimeters long, with a large, squarish head; protruding eyes that can rotate; a muscular stalk at the base of the pectoral fins that can serve as an organ for supporting and crawling on land; and left and right pelvic fins fused into a suction cup. The mudskipper has a habit of leaving the water to feed. Whenever the tide goes out, it often relies on the muscular stalks of its pectoral fins to crawl and hop over the mudflats in search of food, or climbs onto rocks and mangrove thickets to prey on insects, or climbs onto stones to bask in the sun.

Why is the golden-headed turtle called a masterpiece among turtles?
The golden-headed turtle, also known as the snake-eating turtle, is a specialty of China and originally lived in mountain streams south of the Yangtze River basin; it is now on the verge of extinction. The golden-headed turtle has a smooth, scale-free head, a short snout that does not protrude beyond the edge of the beak, an upper beak with a distinct notch, large eyes, a round and clearly visible tympanum, and a broad golden-yellow arc-shaped stripe behind the eye, hence the name "golden-headed turtle."
