The angler fish totally caught me by surprise. Always a sign of a successful ambush. Eeek!

I'm surprised you didn't see it coming. Zebra >> Zebra fish >> Zebra angler fish >> Chinese AnglerZebra

Well, that settles it, I can't prune, it might deprive a NewZebra of its lure...

Excellent detective work there, Ms BG. I am, however, still disturbed by the the similarity in appearance between NewZebra's tongue and the sting of a triffid.

stephbg March 27 2011, 15:03:49 UTC

The triffid evolved to resemble the AnglerZebra to encourage it to become a triffid pollinator. Unfortunately, AnglerZebras became carnivores and ignored the triffids' highly specialised come-hither behaviour. Now there are no more triffids. Silly triffids.

Now that you mention it, I've not heard so much as a single report of triffids roaming the savannah in recent years.

could be cos either the triffids or their observers are extinct.

or maybe both.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about zebras.

I don't understand. They're horse-like with stripes! What could be better!
