Usage examples of "mormyrid".
There is, for example, an African fresh-water fish, the Mormyrid, which often lives in murky water where visual detection of predators, prey or mates is difficult.
The Mormyrid has developed a special organ which establishes an electric field and monitors that field for any creatures traversing it.
The Mormyrids have a spectacularly different sort of brain, and yet in the most fundamental biological sense they are far more closely related to us than any intelligent extraterrestrial beings.
