recently discovered a scientific expedition in the Peruvian Amazon a species of giant fish that feeds on wood. The fish, which is known by indigenous people as carachama giant and hunt for food, is about 70 inches long. Has the spoon-shaped teeth to scrape off the trunks of trees that fall into the water. Is a pattern of dentition of the fish that eat wood.

The researchers, funded by the National Science Foundation or NSF (National Science Foundation) U.S. tissue extracted from one of the specimens found alive to analyze the genetics of the new species . The findings will be announced in December at scientific journal Copeia in more detail.

"is a rare species that warrants further studies to determine their conservation status, and habitat characteristics, which could be achieved with the implementation of a monitoring," said Arsenio
Street, head of the Alto Purus National Park, to the state news agency Andina.

He said to wait until next year to this study during the months from July to September, during which the rivers empty due to lack of rain.

The fish was discovered in an expedition conducted in Alto Purus from 21 July to 3 August 2010 to identify aquatic life in rivers in the area, Purus and Yurús.
"The carachama feeds on crustaceans, detritus, plant debris and algae that is at the bottom of the lakes (lakes) and river, and decaying wood by water. It has a food habit than rest of their competition, "said Arsenio
Street.

Calle added that similar species were found by scientists in the country earlier in the jungle region of San Martín in northeastern Peru. It is believed that there is about a dozen species of fish that eat wood distributed in the watersheds of South America, many of them endemic, with very small groups. Peruvian experts also studied the conservation status of the new fish during the months July to September next year, during which rivers emptied by the lack of rain.

Alto Purus National Park, home to some indigenous people in voluntary isolation and a variety of the world's largest bird, is among the regions of Madre de Dios and Ucayali in the Peruvian jungle border Brazil.
