The Weird...
Four-Eyed Fish |
Four-Eyed Fish! That's right, Four-Eyed Fish. These weird fish don't actually have four eyes, but instead each eye is divided into two parts. Their eyes are like this so they can see above and below the water at the same time. These fish get at maximum 32 cm and spend their time at the surface. They live in freshwater and brackish water in Mexico, Honduras, and north South America.
And the Ugly...
Sea Pig |
Its pink, squishy, and lives under the sea, what is it? Sea Pigs! Belonging to the genus Scotoplanes, Sea Pigs are deep-sea holothurian echinoderm. These "unique" creatures, live on the abyssal plains of the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans. They move around by inflating and deflating their tube feet. Sea Pigs eat anything that floats down to the bottom of the ocean, often referred to as "snow". You may have a face that only a mother could love but your still an important species for decomposing organic material on the abyssal plains!
