Endangered Fish or Aborted Fetus? You decide.




My coworker who is unwaivering in the face of danger and who mentioned being held up at gun-point as a side-note in a conversation about purses adding, "he took my favorite clutch!" screamed like a toddler and hid her face in her hands at the site of this little swimmy guy.

According to Treehugger.com this is a "Mexican Walking fish" whose habitat is being compromised because of water pollution and the wild, hungry vengeance of non-native species. Yet some, like my coworker, are skeptical. Some say it is a smiling fetus that no longer calls the womb home. I would therefore like provide a forum and safe space for people to discuss their thoughts and feelings on the true nature of this creature.

Also, endangered species is an emotional subject for a lot of us and I do ask for respect while discussing. The panda, for instance is endangered. (but the camel is here to stay, sucka!)

It's pretty cute actually although its little hands do have a certain camel-toe resemblance, wouldn't you agree, Haute Shotor?
