Salminus brasiliensis, also known as the golden dorado, dorado, river tiger, dourado, or jaw characin is a large, predatory characiform freshwater fish found in central and east-central South America. [2] Despite having Salminus in its name, the dorado is not related to any species of salmon, [3] nor to the saltwater fish also called dorado.
Out of the water, the fish often change color (giving rise to their Spanish name, dorado, 'golden'), going through several hues before finally fading to a muted yellow-grey upon death. Mahi-mahi can live for up to five years, although they seldom exceed four. Females are usually smaller than males.

The common name is from the Tupi name of the animal, eîrara, via Spanish or Portuguese, while the generic name is from the (related) Guarani name of the animal, eira. [241] [242] Tehuelchesaurus † sauropod: Named in honor of the Tehuelche people: Tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) bean: Uncertain
