A Fish With A Transparent Skull

[Australis]

In the Horrible Website thread, I stumbled across this story in the Mail.

We talk SF, and come up with strange aliens... and then they find something like this.

Nature - weird, strange and wonderful.

Dude! I saw something about this fish as I was idly and randomly clicking though websites not two hours ago (I never went to The Fail's webby).

Synchonossititty!

Looks photoshopped to me.

 

[Australis]

Check out the YT vid at the bottom of the page.

Wow, good find Australis, very interesting.

Also, colour me surprised that the Mail has a science section.

So is this a Gallamite fish?

Anything that eats jellyfish gets a thumbs up in my book.

 

[All Seeing Eye]

That is the creepiest thing i've ever seen. I can't believe those eye socket things are actually nostrils.
I feel sick.

Interesting article......

 

[melancholymecha]

are those two greenish orbs actually its eyes? and is that beige-ish mass in the back of the orbs its brain?

what a weird fish! but then again most deep sea fish are...

Fascinating fish, that's for sure.

 

[Roger Wilco]

The fish doesn't look like it tastes good though.

 

[T'Ressa Dax]

It's interesting. And strange...

 

[RJDiogenes]

Coincidentally, somebody Posted this in my "New Animals" Thread on another site last night. Definitely a case of truth being stranger than Science Fiction.

According to the article, as far as I can figure it, yep.

I think this fish needs a more common name.

How about the Paris Hilton Fish?

Didn't DS9's Jadzia Dax once date an alien with a transparent head?

Seriously that's very cool. Thanks for starting this thread.
