Some of the animals that inhabit this river include the [[discus fish]], which is so narrow that, when it turns sideways, it is nearly impossible to see; the advantage of this trait is that the fish is able to easily escape predators by hiding in the underwater cracks and crevices. It is also yellow, with white stripes and orange spots covering on its body.

The [[Khulian fish owl]] is as much a ubiquitous sight above the water, particularly during the day. Its wide, yellow eyes constantly monitor the water for unsuspecting fish. The owl's toes - two each facing forward and backward - allow it to perch on rocks and trees with ease once it has caught its prey.
The [[Khulian fish owl]] is often seen flying above the river.
