Look at these alien pups!

[gturner]

Well, actually they're baby skates.

From Zooborns.com.

Hat tip to Ace of Spades.

Aww, they look like little emoticons.

 

[JonathonWally]

They were awesome in The Abyss!

 

[gturner]

They look so sweet an innocent at that age.

Then they grow up and stab you in the heart.

 

[Cornholio]

oh man, they're creepin' me out!

look like they're ready to attach themselves to someone's face and implant one of those alien babies.

They think I'm not on to their game, but I can see right through them.

I was about to say they look something that would pop out of a chest and eat people.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

They're coming.

 

[RoJoHen]

Their faces are really weirding me out. I feel like they're going to start talking to me.

That would be stingrays, methinks.

These guys are cute little fellers, though.

 

[Beagleman]

Cute little fellas!

 

[Yeoman Randi]

OMG I LOVE THEM!!!!

 

[propita]

Are those "hands" on them--or things that would be hands on a mammal?

 

[melancholymecha]

also are those really their eyes or nostrils?

neat...almost as cool as the critter in my av.

 

[ed629]

I like watching them 'dance'.

 

[RoJoHen]

They would be so much less creepy if they weren't staring right at me!

 

[trekkiedane]

They look delicious! -perhaps with a sauce hollandaise

They're called "claspers" but no, not really like hands.

also are those really their eyes or nostrils?

Eyes are on the other (top) side; those are spiracles, to take in water which passes over the gills.

Thanks! It's a crop from some old album art by Roger Dean. Here's what the whole thing looked like: http://i44.tinypic.com/2j26y53.gif
