    Recently, technicians in Xiaoheishan Provincial Nature Reserve, Longling County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province, were sorting out photos of wild animals and found a bird with black and white feathers and feather patterns very similar to blue and white porcelain spots
    .


    Zeng Wei, a technician from the Kunming Survey and Design Institute of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, identified it as a spotted fish dog of the genus Alcedo atthis


    This peculiar spotted fish dog was photographed for the first time in the Xiaoheishan Reserve in Longling County, Yunnan Province, and belongs to a new record of wildlife in the county
    .


    This is also the 9th new record of wild animals (including 8 new records of birds) discovered in Longling County since 2021


    Spotted fish dogs mainly live on the shores of open waters such as low mountains and plains, streams, rivers, and lakes
    .


    Their food is mainly small fish, and they also eat crustaceans and a variety of aquatic insects and their larvae .


    According to reports, although they are named "dogs", they are expert fishers.
    The only two species with "dog" in the names of known birds in China are the spotted fish dog and the crested fish dog
    .


    The spotted fish dog has superb fishing skills and is a veritable fishing expert.
