I saw this in my local paper today, and thought everyone here might enjoy this as well.

( And Mother Nature gets the last laugh again! )

Mother Nature just does this to mock scientists, I'm sure.

Okay, the description of these fish on their own boggles me. But the fact that they're the same species? Yeah, see icon.

OK wait a minute, so all three fishes up there belong to one species?

One family. All the families have several genera and species. Now they have to work out which females go with which males and which juveniles.

Put them all in the same tank, turn on the Barry White and find out, I guess!
