Flannelmouth sucker - Catostomus latipinnis

 

The Flannelmouth Sucker is a large sucker species of the desert southwest.  It sports a peculiarly flanged, two-lobed lower lip.  Flannelmouths inhabit some of the unique desert ecosystems of the southern rocky mountains, a habitat which they share with many other endemic fish species.  This species of fish is a great challenge for anyone intrepid enough to go on a fishing adventure in the high desert.
