Here's the Wierdest New Fish for you to look at


In this undated photo released by David Hall of seaphotos.com, a recently discovered fish named 'psychedelica' is shown in the waters off Ambon island, Indonesia. The frog-like fish — which has a swirl of tan and peach zebra stripes that extend from its aqua eyes to its tail — was initially discovered by scuba divers working as guides for a tour operator a year ago in shallow waters off Ambon island in eastern Indonesia. The operator contacted Ted Pietsch, lead author of a paper published in this February's edition of Copeia, the journal of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, which identified it as a new species.

Happy Groundhogs Day everybody! Unfortunately for us, it looks like 6 more weeks of winter---which I guess is the same thing as the alternative of 6 weeks until spring...
