👉 Leptocerus is a type of aquatic animal that primarily inhabits freshwater habitats, such as lakes, rivers, and streams, in warm climates with water temperatures above 10°C (50°F). They are known for their brightly colored scales, which can vary depending on the species. Leptoceruses have a long history of being hunted for their meat and skin, but their populations have declined due to habitat loss, overfishing, and pollution.
