Handfish

This is cool: "Using its fins to walk, rather than swim, along the ocean floor in an undated picture, the pink handfish is one of nine newly named species described in a recent scientific review of the handfish family."


Strange-looking guy. Apparently he's only ten centimetres long, and only four Pink Handfish have ever been found, all off the coast of Tasmania. All in all, there are fourteen species of Handfish.
