Ostorhinchus capricornis Ostorhinchus capricornis Ostorhinchus capricornis, also known as the Capricorn cardinalfish, is a species of ray-finned fish, a cardinalfish from the family Apogonidae which occurs around reefs in the western Pacific Ocean. "Ostorhinchus capricornis" is dusky yellow in colour, this lightens to bronze or golden yellow on the ventral surfave. It has a black spot around the caudal peduncle and it has two "neon" blue stripes which run through the eye, the lower stripe extending to the posterior edge of the operculum. It grows to a maximum standard length of . It is similar to the yellow cardinalfish ("Ostorhinchus flavus") but
Caudal luring often in juvenile snakes and is most prevalent in vipers and pitvipers, but it also occurs in boas, pythons, tropidophiids, colubrids, and elapids of the genus Acanthophis. Caudal luring has been used as an experimental paradigm to investigate stimulus control and visual perception in viperid snakes. It has been suggested that caudal luring was involved in the evolution of the rattlesnake rattle. Attempts have been made to test this hypothesis, however, the evidence is contentious. There have been dubious reports of caudal luring and concomitant speculations. Prey luring in general is confounded by false interpretation. The difficulty is that there
