Hey guys, Bill here… I’ve seen some really ugly creatures doing this real or fake series… but nothing I have seen, has prepared me for this…
It was sent in by Mark Chipper from Latvia and shows this thing that looks like a halloween mask based on the Alien character from Ridley Scott’s epic movie.
Now here’s the thing… The article that goes with the photo claims it is showing a fish… that’s right - a fish! But is there anyway this could really be rea? Or, are we looking at another big fat ocean going fake. That’s what Mark wants to know.
To me the answer is pretty obvious, but we don’t just give you answers here. What we try to do is find the proof. And that is where the fun is.
I used google translate to convert the article Latvian into english and then combed it for any details that could be used for further inquiry.
What I found, led me to this - the official answer - right here. Now, I’m going to open this up in just a second but first… there is just a little something you need to do.
No matter where you are, who you are with, or what time it is, I want you to yell out your answer as loud as you can -- either real.. or fake… That way you’re letting people know you are part of the movement.
Ok you ready? And go!
Ok did you do it… great…Hopefully you didn’t wake up too many people in the middle of the night. If they complain, just remind them you are part of the “real or fake” patrol providing an important public service.
And now... here is the official answer. And I quote. l
It’s called a dragon fish. It can be found in at depths down to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). This one was caught in the Faroe Islands by commercial fishermen.
Now, Females can grow up to 40 centimetres (16 in) but the males only grow to aboout 5 centimetres or (2.0 in).
If you want to see one of these things in living color, The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has a video just for you. This one is a slightly different version, but pretty much the same fish. Here's the link
I want to thank Mark Chipper for bringing this to my attention -- and if you have and remember, if you have a picture of videos and you’re not quite sure if it is real or not, send it to me at [email protected] and I will look into it.
