Unusual Sealife Found After Tsunami (Hoax)

[cyberamish]

A buddy of mine who is a fisheries guy in CA sent me these. Apparently these were all washed ashore during the tsunami. Considering that some of these only live on the deep ocean floor it makes you think about the power that the storm generated. Hope this works.

It has been pointed out that this was a hoax. Still some pretty interesting pics though.

Awesome pics!

Well, they sure fooled the folks at the USFWS CA- Redlands Hatchery and the folks at MNPCA. I was sent these from friends who work at both places. One is the hatchery Manager in CA the other is a fisheries scientist for MNPCA. I guess they were all over the PCA. I will pass along the info to them. See, you learn something new from this sight everyday.

Hate to tell you as per Urban legend these photos are of deep sea creatures but NOT from the tsunami, from other deep sea explorations. But they are cool looking

Thanks for reminding me why I will never fish in the ocean...I not touching anything that looks like those.

Some of those fish are just....... I'm pretty sure if I was able to snag something like that in the ocean, I'd either cut the line as soon as I saw the face, or I'd get it mounted and freak people out.

I caught a few of those creatures this year through the ice.

I'd beat them against a tree before I touched them. Kind of like catching a bullhead when you were a kid.

They look like Pokemon characters.

Actually the bottom one kinda reminds me of my ex-wife.

Before you told her you were going fishing or after you got home late from fishing.
