Probarbus labeamajor is a large freshwater fish from the carp family. It lives in the rivers of Southeast Asia and has very thick lips that help it obtain food.
Probarbus labeamajor differs from other cyprinids with its very thick lips, which help it feed in fast rivers. The fish is important for the ecosystem because it controls algae growth and serves as food for predators.
Locomotion through water employed while searching for or capturing prey.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
