Bubble-head fish
Here's an article about a bizarre fish with a clear dome for a forehead:

wow... some survival evolution...:TU:
|
that was one wierd looking fish but kind of neat at the same time I like seeing animals that have never been seen before or at least hardly never seen
|
Very bizarre Jim. Made me think about the poor spiny
eels I use to have that got white spots and died. lol |
hahahahaha That was cool. Thanks for the share.
|
That is some survival technic.
What a fasinating story. What is under the surface always amazes me...... Thanks for the links Jim, a great story. (and No , I do not want it in my aquarium :)) |
Thanks for posting this Jim! I am someone who greatly appreciates the obscure absurdities of life forms in general, and fish in particular :p In fact, my kids used to refer to one of my aquaria as the "Ugly Fish Tank" mainly because of some interesting plecostami, among others.
The pictures of the barreleyes were good, but the video was awesome! |
awww...c'mon...if they can have a crystal that does everything but play Pacman, can't I have a crystal-headed fish?? *wink wink
that was awesome video..thanks for sharing |
They showed that clip on MSNBC (I think that was the channel) last night
|
I second iMark's suggestion... :cheers: ;)

It looks fake.
|
I saw the clip on Youtube. I think the machine tries to catch it,but failed.

How about a Psychedelic bouncing fish to go along with the Bubble Head.:)

hey...if we can't have a crystalhead fish...how about one of these new "Psychedelica" fish?
"A kind of frogfish overlooked for years and then rediscovered in the wild in 2008 has now been officially named as a new species. Its broad, flat face with forward-looking eyes, among other body features, and its DNA distinguish it from other Histiophryne frogfish, researchers report in the journal Copeia. It behaves unusually too, for example squirting out little jets of water that propel it along in irregular, arcing hops. What earned the fish the species epithet psychedelica are the swirling stripes. Sports divers spotted it as a novelty off Indonesia’s Ambon Island in 2008 and sent pictures to Ted Pietsch of the University of Washington in Seattle. The images jogged his memory of two faded, damaged frogfish specimens from Bali he had been storing since 1992. Reexamining their almost white bodies, Pietsch could detect traces of once-glorious stripes like those of fish at Ambon documented by photographer David Hall." — Susan Milius sound fun? |
