Sentences with ANABAS (5)
The fish in this instance was the Anabas scandens or "walking perch" of Ceylon, which derives its name from its power of locomotion on land and its ability to live out of water for some time.
The most celebrated of these is the _Anabas_, or "climbing-fish." an Indian fish, which not only can remain many days out of the water, but also amuses itself by climbing up the palm trees--it is hard to say how--and establishing itself in the little pools of water left by the rain at the roots of the leaves.
Now suppose that Nature wishes to adapt a fish, which breathes by gills, to life in the air; she does not create an organ specially for this purpose, but utilises the moist gill-chamber (_e.g._, in _Anabas scandens_), modifying it in certain ways so that the fish can take advantage of the oxygen it contains.
Thus, certain fishes related to the wonderful Anabas--the perch that climbs trees!--make nests of bubbles, in which the eggs are placed! The Gorami and the beautiful little 'paradise-fish' (fig.
See Labyrinth.] (Zoöl.) Defn: An order of teleostean fishes, including the Anabas, or climbing perch, and other allied fishes.
