fish tale

A fish with hands and legs? Did a frog mate with a goldfish? Nope. This is the Mexican Walking Fish, which is actually a salamander. Also called an Axolotl, it remains in its larval form throughout its life and never grows into an adult. The axolotl also is threatened with extinction, due to habitat destruction and water pollution


There's something about big teeth that makes fish scary, especially the humpback anglerfish, with an added bonus of a dark, slimy body. This one is a female, about the size of a tennis ball. The male is smaller, about the size of a jelly bean, and mates with the female by latching onto her with his hooked teeth, drinking her blood and supplying sperm, according to The Encyclopedia of New Zealand. How romantic. Government of New Zealand By Jeff Kart, Bay City, Michigan
