Found where the pictures came from http://www.divestories.co.za/uglyfish.htm
Certainly ugly fish, but no indication they were washed ashore during the tsunami. |

None of those fish hold a candle to the Goblin Shark
Couldn't find one of the good pictures I'd seen before but they are by far the freakiest looking fish..quite scurry. Asta!!

Having been a major fan of wildlife documentaries for almost 16 yrs. now, I think that most of the information flowing out of (or about) the other side of the world as regards to the seas is just questionable. I am no expert what-so-ever about the ocean's, and yet I know that creatures that live at deep ocean depths would not even be recognizable, much less photographical, were they brought to sea level, due to pressure.
That said, there is bound to be dead sealife that hasn't been seen before that is going to be washed ashore because of the wave action. At any other time, that might be cool, but not now. This world, for better or worse, is populated by the creatures that have the largest and most complex brains. That means humans. We need to band together and forget skin color, religion, motives, etc. and do what needs to be done to help our fellow human beings in their time of need. The people in those devestated countries are scared to death to come down from high land because they're afraid "the sea" will swell up and swallow them. They are also (from what I've read) too supersticious to even eat the very fish that could sustain them because they might have been feeding on the flesh of the dead (not that I could blame them). I was dumbfounded to read in "Time" that this is not only the most recent but not even the largest of the most recent natural disasters to happen. Iran lost hundreds of thousands of people only a few years ago, yet did we hear about it? Much less, did our government tell us or send that much aide over there? No. Gazillions of people have died in the last decade, I just don't understand why no one payed attention to the loss of life before the Asian Tsunami of recent times happened (including myself). We just don't know it's happening unless the press tells us.... I for one am sending what piddly amount I can (sorry Halx to defer what I would otherwise send to TFP!) to the Red Cross to contribute what little bit I can to help those oversea's. Ali

seems that they are real, but as several people mentioned, they've got nothing to do with the Tsunami. Also, I don't think the water that washed up on Sumatra ea. would be the water at the bottom near the epicentre... Wouldn't make sense to me, that water just pushed other water around, isn't that how waves work in essence? So that means it's water from the shallow part that really flooded those lands?

Call me a skeptic, but I could be persuaded to believe that there's a hint of hoax with that story. Not to say that these species of fish don't exist, (well, maybe some of them don't) but I've learned to take everything you get from the internet with a grain of salt.

i find it really hard to believe that all these deep sea fish washed up on shore after this whole tsunami. In 1000' of water, sure there may be a shockwave, but a current strong enough to push these fish hundreds of miles??? I doubt it. I totally believe these species are real, I just don't think they were found on-shore
