Huang Gongwang (born 1269, Changshu, Jiangsu province, Chinaโdied 1354) was the oldest of the group of Chinese painters later known as the Four Masters of the Yuan dynasty (1206โ1368). He was often cited meritoriously by later painters and critics for his rectitude (even though he briefly served in a junior capacity in the Mongol administration) and for his intense association with nature.
Huang spent most of his later years in retirement in the Fuchun Mountains, which he recorded in a long hand scroll produced over a three-year period (1347โ50). He is known also for his accomplishments in literary arts and thus is listed among the paragons of the โliterati paintingโ (wenrenhua) ideal. His style of and attitude toward landscape painting stand at a pivotal midpoint between such ancient masters as Dong Yuan and Juran in the Five Dynasties period and Shen Zhou, Dong Qichang, the Four Wangs, and others of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The giant danio (Devario aequipinnatus) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish in the family Danionidae, native to parts of South and Southeast Asia. With a maximum length of about 15 cm (5.9 in), it is one of the largest species in the family. It may be found in the aquarium trade.
The Australian Milking Zebu (AMZ) is a composite breed of dairy cattle, developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia during the mid-1950s. To develop the breed, the CSIRO bred Sahiwal and Red Sindhi cattle from Pakistan with Jersey cattle. Some Illawarra, Guernsey and Friesian genetics were also included.[1] The development of the breed was governed by strict selection for heat tolerance, milk production and cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) resistance to result in the modern AMZ breed.
Original caption: "Cattle in Brazil, like this Zebu bull, represent a different gene pool from U.S. cattle and could help scientists locate genes for desirable traits like tick resistance and heat tolerance."
The zebu (/หziหb(j)uห, หzeษชbuห/; Bos indicus), also known as indicine cattle and humped cattle, is a species or subspecies of domestic cattle originating in South Asia.[4] Zebu, like many Sanga cattle breeds, differ from taurine cattle in the fatty hump on their shoulders, their large dewlap, and their sometimes-drooping ears. They are well adapted to high temperatures and are raised throughout the tropics.
The false zokor (Myospalax aspalax) is a species of rodent in the family Spalacidae. It is found in eastern Khentei and eastern Khingan in Mongolia and in the Onon River basin in Russia.
