Do you have ANY idea what this fish is? Learn this and much more in the 17 WEIRD Fish Photos Explained !
Bubble-Eyed Goldfish -- Bet you’ve never seen a goldfish like this before. It’s an exotic breed of goldfish that first swam into existence in China in the 1900s. But they have to careful where they swim … Those upward pointing eyes are accompanied by two huge sacs filled with fluid. If the creature swims into an object, those eyes could literally burst! The good news is, the sacs will regrow.
This looks like it could be a scene from a horror movie … but it’s actually a wolf fish captured in a picture off the Norwegian coast by photographer Magnus Lundgren. If you look closely to the left, you can see the fish eyeballing a shrimp for its meal. We still say the teeth and leathery skin makes the wolf fish resemble an aquatic Nosferatu. What do you think?
Deep Sea Selfies -- In 2014, an Australian diver named Gary Brennand took a series of undersea selfies with various sea creatures … here’s a couple that caught our eye:
Here, you see Mr Brennand posing with a Napoleon Wrasse (rass) fish, also known as a Humphead Wrasse. The positioning of the creature and its vibrant coloration almost makes this look like a Photoshop effort, doesn't it? These fish can weigh around 180
We located this picture online and it was so strange we had to include it here. It’s said to be an x-ray of a 12-year-old boy in India … who swallowed a fish as part of some sort of game. You can see the fish alleged fish toward the left. It was still alive at the time this x-ray was taken, but died soon after, according to sources. Some of us at Epic Wildlife thinks this could be genuine … others think it’s a fake, saying we should see the fish’s bones. What do you think?
This is a picture of a goldfish … minus its right eye. The unfortunate critter named Star is a pet goldfish that had surgery to remove the cancerous eye. Performed in the UK, the procedure cost Star’s owners over $600, but they claim the fish’s health was worth the expense. That cost also included an operation for another pet fish named Nemo. The veterinarians injected both fish with oxygenated water that contained an anesthetic to put them to sleep for the procedures. Last we heard, Star and Nemo were recovering from their surgeries. We’ll keep an eye out for more details.
Here’s another case of a goldfish being operated on … this time in Australia. As you can see, this goldfish was breathing through a tube down its throat as it received surgery to have a large tumor removed from its head, which made it difficult to swim and see. That ball-like mass in the veterinarian’s hand is the tumor they removed.
A fisherman in southern China was shocked when he went to his pond to choose a fish for dinner. He found a pair of conjoined fish there, instead. The odd-looking growth underneath the fish is actually the smaller twin. The Nile tilapia fish became something of an attraction in the neighborhood … maybe it was a case of Siamese fins.
Blue Lingcod -- did you think you were looking at a creature from Star Wars at first? This weird looking creature is actually a Lingcod … a fish native to the North American west coast … from the Gulf of Alaska to Baja, California. They’re big creatures, weighing up to 130 pounds and measuring up to 5 feet long. You can see how huge the mouth is … the voracious predators feed on anything that they can jam in there … including many species of fish including herring, salmon and rockfish. Did you know the Lingcod isn’t related to either the Ling or Cod fish … but it does resemble both fish, hence the name ‘Lingcod’.
Gotcha! -- Does it look like some sort of artistic pattern? It’s actually a Mimic Blenny Fish that has taken shelter in the coral. You can see his head pop out of the center as he scans for larger predators like a hungry octopus in the vicinity. These fish actually position themselves in holes within the coral made by worms. After hiding from the octopus this little fella tried to hide from the photographer … but he got caught all the same -- on film, anyway!
Here’s a fish that literally had a frog in its throat. After an angler in Queensland, Australia pulled in a jungle perch to retrieve the lure, he discovered a jolly green frog nestled inside the fish’s mouth. And just take a look at that amphibian … it looks pretty smug to be so down in the mouth. But the moment didn’t last long. Once the fisherman disturbed the creature, the frog escaped by jumping straight over the man’s head. Do you think it found another mouth to call home?
