Ameiurus
Ameiurus is a genus of catfishes in the family Ictaluridae. It contains the three common types of bullhead catfish found in waters of the United States, the black bullhead (Ameiurus melas), the brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus), and the yellow bullhead (Ameiurus natalis), as well as other species, such as the white catfish (Ameiurus catus or Ictalurus catus), which are not typically called "bullheads".
The species known as bullheads can be distinguished from channel catfish and blue catfish by their squared tailfins, rather than forked.
Taxonomy and fossil record
Ameiurus is recognized as monophyletic, meaning it forms a natural group. It is mostly closely related to the clade formed by Noturus, Prietella, Satan, and Pylodictis genera.
There is a sister group relationship between the species A. melas and A. nebulosus.

A City Called Coma, Pt. 2
by: EmarosaCling to each rock
The wind is not on our side
not on our side
not on our side
Pull yourself together, it's not much further
From the top on high
the smoke is finding its way to the sky
not a place I want to be, not a place I want to be
she sits pale skinned in a fire light
One message to change her mind.
One message to change her life forever.
One message to change her mind.
He climbs over the top no breath no breath
in his weak sick lungs
she starts to run to the edge.
Cling to each rock
the wind is not on our side.
She lays beside him,
His eyes so weak he can't even make her out.
But his body feels her all around him.
She whispers something in his ear
That he takes to the grave,
To the grave.
Hours pass before they reach the top,
Before they reach the top, before. (x2)
