Ancient Corinth sits in a strategic position between land and sea and the ancient Greek city came to prominence by controlling area trade routes. An important cultural center throughout history, the city was known for its artistic innovations and the ruins today show numerous Greek, Roman, and Byzantine architectural features. The heart of ancient Corinth was the Fountain of Peirene, a freshwater spring featured in Greek mythology which also served as the primary source of water for Corinth.

The common snapping turtle (*Chelydra serpentina*) is a large freshwater turtle of the family Chelydridae. Its natural range extends from southeastern Canada, southwest to the edge of the Rocky Mountains, as far east as Nova Scotia and Florida. This turtle species is noted for its combative disposition when out of the water with its powerful beak-like jaws, and highly mobile head and neck (hence the specific name *serpentina*, meaning "snake-like"). In water, they are likely to flee and hide themselves underwater in sediment.

This 3D model represents a freshwater fish species. The fish is depicted in a swimming pose with its body slightly curved, as if it is moving through the water. The model captures the distinctive features of the rainbow trout, including its silver skin with black spots, pinkish-red stripe along its lateral line

**Geometry and Texture:** The 3D model is created with clean and efficient geometry, with a moderate level of detail. The model is UV mapped and textured with high-resolution textures to add realistic details to the skin and fins. The rainbow trout's scales, spots, and lateral line are carefully textured to create a natural and realistic appearance.

**Formats:** The model is available in **FBX** file format. It can be easily imported into most 3D software packages, making it a versatile asset for game development, animation, or visualization projects.

3D scan of a taxidermized Gharial adult female and juvenile (*Gavialis gangeticus*). These reptiles are domestic to Nepal and India and live in freshwater rivers. Even though their appearance may give another impression, these fish-eaters are no threat to humans.

Both of these Gharials cannot be found in the showrooms of the NHM Vienna, but a gharial pair is shown in Hall 28 of the NHM Vienna. They are Number 70 of the NHM Top 100.

Im not making it less common but the Common Carp is a freshwater fish that can easily be kept in any aquarium, though it will become 75cm at least which would then require it to be the size of your living room, unless youre living in a deserted castle like me ofcourse, anyway, its a great gamefish too, my record is 92cm in length and 35 pounds in weight. Compared to variants with less scales, i.e. mirror carp, this one is much more resistant to diseases and parasites, but its looks are quite ehm common.
