Schuhmacher (1973) reports on the feeding and swimming behaviour of this animal as Melibe bucephala from Eilat, [Israel, Gulf of Aquaba, Red Sea]  and Yonow (2000) publishes a photo and records specimens also from Eilat.
It is difficult to be sure what Melibe bucephala is. Bergh described it on the basis of a single preserved animal from Thailand, in which most of the cerata had neem lost.
bucephala has 5 rows of papillae but there are only two in M.

 Eye-Color Changes in Barrow's Goldeneye and Common Goldeneye Ducklings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
.- At hatching, the irides of Barrow's Goldeneye (Bucephala islandlea) and Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula americana) ducklings may be brown, gray-brown, gray, or even blue- gray; irides of adults of both species are yellow, irides of juveniles are brown (Palmer, ed., Handbook of North American Birds, Vol.
Note: It is not known whether the blue eye-color appears in half-grown young of the congeneric Bufflehead (Bucephala albeola).
Presumably, the detection of a lighter transitional color in this species would be made more difficult by the large amount of dark pigment in the irides of both hatchlings and adults; the natal iris color is dark brown or dark gray-brown, the adult iris is "dark brownish" (Palmer 1976).

 Opisthobranch of the Week is Phylliroe bucephala   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
This is the case of the pelagic dendronotid nudibranch Phylliroe bucephala, which lives in open waters and feeds on small planktonic organisms.
This little slug can only been seen in plankton trawling if you are lucky, because most of the time they are destroyed due to their soft body.
bucephala was kind of foggy, due to the rarity of the sightings, it was only known as "circumtropical" (Bertsch, 1979), just until 1996, when Fernandez-Alama looked into collections of the planktonic trawlings made in the Sea of Cortez by the Instituto Politecnico Nacional, she was able to confirm its presence.

Minnesota Profile: Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula): Minnesota Conservation Volunteer: Minnesota DNR
Bucephala is from the Greek word boukephalos, which means ox-headed or buffalo-headed, in reference to the bird's big-looking head.
Clangula is Latin for "small noise," a reference to the whistling sound made by the bird's wings in flight.

 BBC - History - Alexander the Great: Hunting for a New Past
The strikingly well preserved artefact is known as the 'Alexander Sarcophagus', for the good reason that on one long side a figure unambiguously meant to be Alexander is depicted on horseback, in vigorous and deadly combat against a Persian.
The horse in question was Bucephalas (the name means Ox-Head), a magnificent - and prodigiously expensive - Thessalian stallion, probably named for the shape of the white blaze on his muzzle.
It was alleged that only Alexander had been able to break the horse in, and he became so attached to the animal over the next two decades or so that he actually named a city - Bucephala - after him, in an area now part of modern Pakistan (site unidentified).

Mean egg laying interval (Ò SE) for Buffleheads was 48.36 Ò 2.35 hr, which was similar to that of Barrow's Goldeneyes that laid, on average, every 45.32 Ò 1.40 hr.
