  • It is in fact a spotted handfish

    The tiny spotted handfish, is one of Tasmania's most critically endangered marine fishes.
    The World Conservation Union (IUCN) is calling for immediate action to preserve one of the most unusual marine creatures found off the coast of Tasmania.

    The spotted handfish (Brachionichthys hirsutus) is a small and slow-moving fish species that uses its pectoral and pelvic fins to ‘walk’ rather than to swim. The species is endemic to the lower Derwent Estuary and its bays and channels, meaning that its is found nowhere else in the world. It occurs in only three small colonies of less than 200 adult fish each.

  • It looks like...

    a platypus and a blowfish had a baby. I thought is was pretty big until that other fish passed over it, notice that he stopped moving and sat quietly until it was gone, and what was with that red string of pearls fish he kept trying to get in the shot I guess he wanted his 15 minutes of fame too!
