Heebie Jeebies

While we're on the subject of ocean creatures, I saw a photo of this fish in this month's National Geographic.


What looks like its eyes are actually its nostrils. Look at those blobular green eyes covered by a see-through shield!

Eek!/Awesome.

(Christine, this is right up there on the weird fish list with the psychedelic fish you told me about.)

I think I will stay on dry land!

Oh no...another addition to the "fish I will have nightmares about" list.

Nah, uh. This has got to be fake . . . at least that's what I'm going to tell myself so I'm not too freaked out now.

I disbelieve in this fish. That is not a fish, that is a terrarium made from a 2-liter bottle.
