What do you think of this fish?

Wonder if this fish has been anywhere near the Japan meltdown?

Ugly looking thing Gael, i was just looking at the lion trying to eat the dead hippo and being harassed by the alligators:cool1:

It's an adaptation that was probably the result of a random mutation but if it enhances survival value it will build up in the population and possibly produce a new 4 eyed species, if that hasn't happened already.

If the mutation works against survival, it will disappear for obvious reasons.
On the other had, if it bestows no particular advantage or disadvantage, the feature will persist in the species as one variation as red hair does among humans.

Ugly doesn't really come into it unless it means that nothing ever wants to eat it.

Genetic engineering is a growing field, CeeCee.
Maybe you will soon have the option.

From some of the things I see going on up here, I think this answer makes a lot more sense than random mutation.

That pretty well sums it up!

Oh, I doubt the predators care about it's looks. But those two legged ones might.
