look at this fucking demon

Female black dragonfish—such as this newfound specimen of the Idiacanthus genus—are "fierce predators" of small fish. But "interestingly, male dragonfish lack teeth and a functional gut, and are thought to live only long enough to breed," biologist Malcolm Clark said.

look at this fucking mimicry arms race
An octopus mimicking a fish becomes the background to another fish's mimicry. My head hurts.

look at this fucking no-mess meal
This catfish has an armored shell, which allows indigenous Peruvians
to barbecue the fish whole then eat the meat directly out of the
built-in bowl. Delicious.

look at this fucking giant goldfish
Angler Raphael Biagini reeled in this 14kg koi in Southern France.
Stick that in your koi pond. Too late, he released it. Good luck catching that monster yourself.

look at this fucking nut cracker
The Pacu fish - related to Piranhas - sports creepy human-like teeth
that it uses to crack open fruits and nuts.
When swimming in Brasil, make sure you protect your delicate nuts and fruits.

look at this fucking awful set of chompers
Adam stares at the photo with a tingle in the back of his neck and a growing dryness in his throat. He reaches shakily for his pen and crosses Congo off his list of rivers to visit.

look at this fucking poorly designed fish
No, it does not have two brains.
Those iridescent orbs are its upward facing eyeballs.
Perfect for snooping on food and foe above. Also, an indicator that these fish are frequently attacked from below by predators they never see. Evolution isn't always perfect. That's why it's called Evolution.

look at this fucking desperate shark

this great white is so hungry that it can't resist the pitiful morsel being offered by tricky scientists.
look at the snack-sized fish chunk, and look at the size this massive shark.
the shark is just testing it out.
look, it's eyes aren't rolled back, so it's not in full attack mode.
photo snap! oh, shark, you got so played.
