Oh Noz! Vampire fish!

Even the name is cool...Danionella dracula.

Interesting thing about this fish...it is a carp, and carp evolved a lack of teeth about 50 mya.  Those aren't real teeth, but are actually bony extensions of the jaw serving the same function as teeth.  Cool.  Evolution works out a different solution.

Presumably it ate other fish, or inwards directed teeth wouldn't be much of an advantage (?)

Wait a minute- is this a fossil or a living thing? I couldn't tell by the article. If it is alive, it doesn't look a bit well. I think I felt like it looks last Sunday.

It looks like it's very small and the picture is taken with a electron microscope...

It's the microwave of the sea!  They swim in packs and eat you from the inside out!  I'll never swim again!

I am not certain, but I think they are talking about a living species in SE Asia.  I think the picture is of a dead fish that was brought back for examination.

Just my opinion.
