The Liangshan Dog (Chinese: 凉山犬) is a medium-sized semi-feral scenthound originally bred by the Yi people of Liangshan Yi Prefecture in Sichuan province, China.[1] Liangshan dogs are prized for their tracking ability, endurance and ferocity while hunting wild boar in mountainous terrain.[2] Liangshan dogs hunt a variety of prey at variable altitudes and climates and are often deliberately underfed to improve drive to be successful.
Description
[edit]Liangshan dogs have triangular eyes, rounded drop ears, a short, double coat and bushy curved tails.[1] Their heads are black; however, the rest of their body is a mix of reds, yellows, and grey. It is not unusual for the hairs to be banded.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
