Is this thing real??? :eek: I came across this on the net a while ago. There was no other information with the picture as to where or when the photos were taken. It looks like someone was on vacation and found it on the beach or thatÂ’s the impression its trying to convey. I know there are some pretty horrendous looking fish that live in the depths of the oceans but could this thing possibly be real?

looks fake to me. no gills and it's eyes are on the front of its head making it an easy target from a "behind or side attack"..jmo.

Could you give us the site where you found it ?

No gills, :shock: I canÂ’t believe I missed that I guess I was to mesmerized by it ghastly appearance to notice :lol: . Who ever made it certainly has a flair for the creating nasty looking creatures.

Sorry, I donÂ’t recall where I saw it on the net. I was surfing around late one night and came across the picture and save it because it was so hellish looking. It wasnÂ’t on any sites dealing with strange or unusual animals or things it was just one of those things that you find floating around on the internet here and there. :grin:

Can't tell from the photos but it looks like a wood carving.

No way that is a baboon head.
I am not saying that is a real fish at all. But no way that is a baboon head.
Here is what one looks like with it's mouth open.
