Not making this up
If anyone else showed me this picture and said, “The is a piglet squid,” I’d have had a good chuckle and wondered to myself how long it’s going to take before I’m this good with Photoshop. However the person who came up with this is actually a god, er, rather The God.
I know no one’s pulling a fast one here, because this and many other barely believable marine images come from SerpentProject.com, a perfectly sober website devoted to undersea exploration that just had a photo contest. My thanks to 2Bangkok.com for bringing it to my astonished attention.
The pigmy squid swims around looking adorable off the coast of Nigeria, apparently. Dali House has a crate of other stunning fish photos coming along soon.
Meantime, look out, it’s a Chimaera monstrosa, clearly offering flying lessons, on the George Bligh Bank in the North Atlantic.
