Rhinecanthus aculeatus has many common names: blackbar triggerfish, lagoon triggerfish, Jamal, and Picassofish. It also has a nickname: humuhumu, from the Hawaiian humuhumunukunukuapua'a for triggerfish with a snout like a pig. Whatever the name, it's found in coral reefs where it eats whatever passes by: worms, small fish, sea urchins, crustaceans, and coral. It's an energetic swimmer, and aggressive defender of eggs and living space.

Aloha. Very funny. Humuhumukununukuapua'a means "fish with a pig's nose" in Hawai`ian. It is a very long name, and is pronounced hoomoo-hoomoo, koonoo nookoo, ah-poo-ah ah. A hui hou.
There are only two species of echidnas: the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) of New Guinea. There are several sub-species of the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.
