Pikachu can't talk! I find your fight scenario unfeasible!

This fish is awesome. You will never be as rad as him.

Anyone ever heard of the Channidae, more commonly called the snakehead fish.

It can breathe air and live out of water (provided its wet)and travel over land to other bodies of water (making them ecological dangers).

I heard of this because many were spotted in MA a summer or 2 ago.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread. We were having issues with them in Md. a few years back.

Everyone who saw one was advised to kill them, right?

 

[cerealkiller182]

i wouldnt be surprised. They make them out to be like the bull frogs in that episode of the Simpsons when they went to Australia

I believe so. They even had one on display at one of the Smithsonian museums.

Parallel adaptive radiation. Somehow I doubt this is an ancestor or a descendant of the fish(es)/amphibians that took the first steps onto land.

...oh, and *Eats Fish*

SEATTLE — A University of Washington professor says a recently discovered fish that crawls instead of swimming and has forward-looking eyes like humans could be part of an entirely unknown family of fishes.
The creature sighted in Indonesian waters off Ambon Island has tan- and peach-colored zebra-stripping. It uses its leglike pectoral fins to burrow into cracks and crevices of coral reefs in search of food.
UW professor Ted Pietsch says this relative of the anglerfish will have to undergo DNA scrutiny to verify that it is unique. But the world's leading authority on anglerfish says he's never seen anything like it.
Pietsch says they have probably escaped notice until now because they are so good at sliding into narrow crevices.

That's f**king awesome!!

It's just a glorified walking cat fish.

I see them in Florida all the time during rainy season.

The difference would be in the morphology of the fins, though, and potentially the pelvic and pectoral girdle. Lobe-finned fishes (dipnoi) are markedly different than the ray-finned bony fishes (actinopterygii).

So evolutionarily, it's likely more than just a glorified walking catfish.

 

[Manic]

I think the real question is... How does it taste?

Indeed.

 

[QueerMike]

If they've NEVER seen ANYTHING like it, it must be either something really old or really new, IMO. Next thing you know those fish will have "lungs" and come to shore

They already did, they're called politicians.

Fins schmins. Can it make a mean potato salad? Otherwise I'm not impressed.

 

[BatSpider]

Indeed.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Fish wise,this may be the missing link.

He does have a point.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

I hate fish with a passion. These bastards better not be able to come on land anytime soon.

 

[CorpusBlack]

He does have a point.

Of course I do! I'm high on Comtrex, Sudafed and caffeine!

 

[CorpusBlack]

Love your sig CS.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

Love your sig CS.

Lmao, thank ya. That's what I'm here for.

You're a bit late. There are quite a few species of fish that are able to survive on land for some time.

They are coming for you.

Like Aquaman, but Lamer.

You're calling this lame?
