GREAT NEWS FOLKS,.. WITH YOUR HELP, OUR FREAKY FISH IS THE 2007 WINNER!!!
THANKS... ISN'T THIS COOL,.. OUR FISH WON!!!!!!!
AND I THINK SHE FRESNED UP HER LIPSTICK FOR THE OCCASION!!!! HEHEHE :)Also known as the Galapagos batfish, this oddball is a poor swimmer that spends an abundance of time "walking" on its pectoral fins. In addition to its freaky walking ability, its body is covered in gnarled lumps, so it's no wonder this warm water species looks like it's wearing lipstick -- how else could it get a date?
It was a close competition with creatures like the patagonian toothfish, the phantom anglerfish and the wretched, fearsome tubeworm fighting the good fight through the final stretch. But in the end the red lipped batfish pervailed.

what is this competition you speak of?
Oh, it was with one of my environmental groups, this wonderful fish won out of the others mentioned,this year, I think it\'s neat cause I never realized there were different unusual fish and animals in our waters...i guess if I scubad I would be amazed, but Ive always been afraid of Sharks, they say how the sharks have such a bad rap but I know they could kill me, so i try not to take chances..
