Bizarre behaviour of the Pearl Fish

[lenore_lurks]

Hey guys! I saw this video a few days ago and shared with with a friend who thinks sea cucumbers are pretty cool things. Which they are. But apparently they are one of the most laid-back creatures of the sea if they allow this to happen to them on a regular basis...

I am sorry that I can't seem to embed the video, blame the BBC.

Enjoy! http://www.

I never, ever, ever want to come back as a Peal Fish.

I never, ever, ever want to swim near a Peal Fish.

[spartan_117]

LOL good point. Yet another reason I'm never swimming in the ocean.

OR a sea cucumber! DO NOT WANT!

And some sea cucumbers have evolved teeth up their bums... for just this reason. (Maybe that's why the peal fish pauses to check things out before entry?)

Oh my. I guess all the hentai I've been reading wasn't that far fetched after all!

Um, why is everyone misspelling Pearl Fish in the comments? Or is there some other name for it that I am unaware of?

[spartan_117]

Cos I can't type for shit . . . or spell for that matter. Not sure why everyone else is calling it a Peal fish instead of a Pearl fish though

[gully_moe]

Yeah, I'm not a grammar nazi or anything, but I noticed that 3 people spelled it that way, and I'm like WTF?

[kittysaysno]

Looool, "they get so excited when they see a sea cucumber".

Oh my.

I hope I was supposed to read the last line in George Takei's voice, because I totally did.

<--- um, I'm just going to leave this right here.
