"Euplotes" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Euplotes is a genus of ciliates, a type of protozoan, typically found in freshwater environments.
Eupleridae (pronounced "yoo-plee-ree-DEE-uh-dee") is a family of carnivorans, commonly referred to as falanoucs and fossas, endemic to Madagascar. They are a group of carnivorous mammals that are distantly related to mongooses and meerkats. The name "Eupleridae" comes from the Greek words "eu" meaning good and "pleros" meaning full, referring to the fact that their skeletons are considered to be well-preserved and well-suited for a variety of hunting and killing tasks.
