scariest fish of the day

say hello to the atlantic wolffish!yikes!
this is NOT a fish you want to run into in a dark alley!

recently, a consevation group has asked that the fish be placed on the endangered species list because of the decline in its population due to overfishing. yeah that's right - people actually eat that mean-looking mother f*cker!

this thing looks like it should have gone extinct along with the dionsaurs long LONG ago! but there are reasons for keeping it around... apparently they keep numbers of invasive species like sea urchins down and "their population success is also an important indicator on the health of other bottom dweller populations, such as cod." delicious, delicious, scum-sucking cod...

long live the atlantic wolffish!
