Life above and below water

In this volume:

CABO VERDE
Photos and Text: Silvia and Helmut Güthel
This archipelago off the West African coast was a welcome stopover for explorers such as Bartholomeo Diaz, Christopherus Colombus, Vasco da Gama, Alvares Cabral, James Cook and Alexander von Humboldt on their voyages. Silvia and Helmut Güthel report on its history and show us Cabo Verde today, above and below water.

SIDE-NECK TURTLES
Photos: Burkard Kahl, Editorial team and others – Text: Editorial team
The oldest land vertebrates on earth evolved from aquatic habitats approximately 240 million years ago, and represent an early stage of the chelonians. As in the past, the oldest living turtles, the side-necks (Pleurodira), today live exclusively in fresh waters.

WAIGEO

AFRICA TERRA INCOGNITA – LIBERIA

PORTFOLIO

FASCINATION OF NATURE (+ Poster)
Photos and Text: Peter Schupke
The world below water  may well harbour most of the unknown mysteries in the world of nature. Peter Schupke, the well known German fish breeder and cameraman, takes us to Lake Tanganyika to observe the unbelievable reproduction and mimicry of an amazing fish group.

ENDANGERED – POINT PELEE 

Photos and Text: F. L. Rodriguez Jiminez

NISHIKIGOI  
Photos: Li, and Kamihata Fish International – Text: Heiko Bleher
About 2,500 years ago Man gave the first cultivated carp the name “koi” and ever since it has been a pet in our ponds and pools. For the first coloured carp the name nishikigoi“ was adopted approximately 150 years ago, it was destined to become a star, the most prized of all living creatures.

THE DRAGON
