Quoting the article: Milton Love, a marine biologist at the University of California’s Marine Science Institute in Santa Barbara, Calif., says the fish's muppet-like appearance demonstrates "the awesome power of natural selection." ... "Or, and here is another hypothesis, Gaia created this fish after having one too many of those rum drinks that come with those little umbrellas." Nice :-)
