The Silver Redhorse, Moxostoma anisurum, is a species of freshwater fish endemic to Canada from Quebec to Alberta and in the United States in the Mississippi River, St. Lawrence River, Ohio River, and the Great Lakes basins. It is typically found in lakes and in small to large rivers, where it often lives in undercut banks or protruding tree roots.
A bottom-feeder, it feeds on mollusks, algae, detritus, immature insects, and other small organisms.

Famous quotes containing the word silver:
“There is probably not more than one hundred dollars in cash in circulation today. That is, if you were to call in all the bills and silver and gold in the country at noon tomorrow and pile them on the table, you would find that you had just about one hundred dollars, with perhaps several Canadian pennies and a few peppermint Life Savers.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
