LOL. I'm sorry.

I never heard of it b4 but the 2nd pic came up when searching for something else.

The ocean pressure is needed for him to keep his shape. I guess he might be added to endangered species list soon. Needing as much ocean pressure as he does, I doubt he could be kept in an aquarium unless high pressure aquariums are manufactured.

Edited: Yes, there is one. Yeah!!!

It makes me wonder what would happen if a baby was born on the moon (or in space in general). Would it me a citizen of the moon? LOL

I love 'ugly' looking animals. I think they are adorable. It's so ugly it's cute. Like violet gobies, axolotls, hairless cats, etc.

I love gobies and sphinx cats, too. Always wanted a Sphinx. Violet, did you like Outer Limits and Twilight Zone? I loved those shows!!! I think they taught us a lot!

 

[VioletGoby]

Yes! Love those shows!
