Fish with legs and a horn caught in Seattle

SEATTLE -- An 8-year-old girl hooked a fish with apparent legs and a horn growing out of its head, according to a Local 6 News report.

Odd little creatures...

The horn seems kinda useless to me, wonder how that came about. Also its not really a "horn" per say it is more of a fleshy protrusion.

What an odd little piece of evolution.

God musta been drunk that day....

That would explain so many animals.....

That fish is kinda ewwwwww
im glad my fish don't look like that

The platypus for one, that thing is one strange little duck beaver. Platypuses are the only mammals that make venom, which males squirt from spurs on their back legs when fending off other males during the mating season. They are also, as everyone knows, the only mammal that lays eggs. Like I said above strange sad little creature.

I can understand that some sewer rats are filth and full of disease, but a aquatic one?! God was definatly drunk, maybe it was a result of a hang over...

It doesnt surprise me. Ive seen some wierd critters roaming around the Emerald city.

i saw this big fury creature with a humped back, about the size of a medium sized dog, with grey strips, an anteater like head, and a long bush tail lumbering through one of the neighbors yards one night. I have no clue what it was, it wasnt a skunk, badger, way to friggin big ro be a racoon, and it moved wierd.
Didnt get a pic of it, i was out for an evening stroll when i saw it. Still looking on the web to see if I can find anything like it.

of course, with all the toxic crap they pump into the puget sound and lake union, its no surprise we keep catching mutant fish.

Wow Skadi_the_Evil_Elf I sure as hell am glad I don't live were ever the heck you live. Could this thing maybe have been a possum? They have anteater like heads and have gray fur as you described. It could also be a subspecies of possum, or some strange new breed of them.

Maybe it's a result of current lab expeirments done undergroud then all of a sudden these critters excape,lol just a thought. Actually the weridest creature I ever known but haven't actually encounter are the snake head fish... which originated from China. These critters, once they're lose no telling what there'll gonna eat, I mean they will litterally eat any thing if you put it in a lake. the thing never stops

Sounds a lot like the discussion we are having about El Chupacabra haha.

Yeah we had an infestation of snake head fish some were here in Virginia (or maybe it was Maryland) but unfortunately I was unable to see one of the little buggers. A very interesting species though.

We are discussing it in this board. You should swing on by and voice you opinion.

I really would like to get a timeline on it's attacks though. I have no idea when the latest one was. or when the first one was for that matter.

Hey! It's a dorkfish!

No, it wasnt no possum, cuz possums have tails liek rats. this one had a bushy tail, and well, if it was a possum, it was the biggest one Ive ever seen, it was like a mid sized dog, likle, the size of a pitbull. its mulbering walk, bushy tail, wierd grey and white strips. I tried to get closer to see what to see what it was, but it had gone behind the neigbors boat and i lost sight of it. It was wierd.

Seattle, though, here and elsewhere in the pacific northwest, is full of wierd creature sightings. i think this is one of the higest areas of bigfoot and sasquatch sightings too. lotta wierd critters up there in the mountains.

Maybe a werewolf? Hey it's a possibility, the describtions are almost similar to those of a werewolf.

Cool, nice fish. Kinda similar to the goby and Lesser/Greater weaver fish, even has the poision spine too.

If it were a werewolf I don't think that Skadi_the_Evil_Elf would still be in once piece. Let alone able to tell the rest of us about it.

I'm gonna go with a dorkfish over a were-fish.

(I's a dorkfish!)

If this thing weren't like 500 million years old, I'd seriously question it being a genetic manipulation gone horribly awry.
If anyone finds anything about a buck-toothed dolphin, please let me know.

(Don't know dorkfish? Find Bill Engvall's standup album by the same name)

No he was talking about the creature that Skadi_the_Evil_Elf saw not the fish.
