Strange fish we never hook
December 9th 2007 02:34
I was cruising the Web the other day and came across some more weird sea life. I wanted to share a few here. You can read the whole article (and see 27 strange sea creatures) by clicking on the link I provided.
We'll start with the COELACANTH. For years science thought this fish was extinct until some fishermen netted one in 1938.
This has to rate pretty high up there on the weird scale! Believe it or not, this is called a LUMPFISH! (I wonder why) What looks like an escapee from a SF movie is found in coastal waters off the U.S.
This alien-like creature is called the AXOLOTYL. The only place you can find this creature is in a lake in Mexico! This picture is a little deceiving because they don't really look this human! This is an example of everything coming together to make it look that way!. The angle and appearance of the animal go a long way to make it look humanoid. They are actually related to the tiger salamander.
Until next time--watch yourself and watch your line!

At any rate, I'm certain we'll see them in future horror flics!

I had seen the little alien before, but not the Lumpfish... gosh it looks like Darwins grab bag doesn't it?
Wow, evolution in motion or what?
IWhat I am left wondering is why they are surfacing now.
Is it becuase there are more surfacing or because the media is in more places than ever and we are hearing about it?
Great post as always,
