Catostomus latipinnis
''Catostomus latipinnis'' (flannelmouth sucker) is a North American fish identified by its enlarged lower lips. It belongs to the genus ''Catostomus'', commonly known as suckers. Historically, the flannelmouth sucker ranged in the Colorado River Basin, including parts of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, California, and Arizona; however, this species has been entirely extirpated from the Gila River Basin in Arizona.
== Description ==
The flannelmouth sucker's body is long, starting with a thick anterior that moves down to a thin posterior; respectively, this causes the head to be relatively short and thick. The lower lips are noticeably bulky, with thick and fleshy lobes. In addition, the flannelmouth sucker has large fins, but relatively small scales. Young fish are usually silvery-colored all over, but adults have a typical light gray or tan coloration (often with a lighter underside). Strangely, no bright colors have been found in populations of this species in Arizona, but are found in those from the Colorado basin.〔Minckley, W. L. (1973). ''Fishes of Arizona''. Arizona Game and Fish Department. pp. 145-146, 156-157.〕 Adult fish can also grow to a length of 26 inches and weigh about 8 pounds. It is one of the largest of all suckers.
