One of two 19-year-old fish with human-like facial features in Chongju, about 140 km (88 miles) south of Seoul on January 10, 2005. The hybrid species fish were born between a carp and a leather carp in the pond of a personal house in Chongju. Each of the two female fish is 80 cm (32 inches) long and 50 cm (20 inches) in circumference. The owner of the fish said on Monday that their faces have begun to look more and more human over the last couple of years. Picture taken January 10.

It's from a legitimate news source, yet it looks like a photoshop...

That would be one pug ugly human

Okay, I've stared at that fish about five times and I'm still not seeing the human resemblance. If someone would be so kind as to circle the area that looks like a face and post the editied picture, I'd appreciate it a bunch.

I think it is supposed to be this bit

Ithought they meant this :

How long before they breed a fish that can wipe its own arse

Taiwanese scientists say they have inadvertently developed a two-headed fish.

They genetically engineered the two-headed fluorescent zebrafish during studies into muscular dystrophy.

i think this is pretty cool though

Which way does it swim?

[BJ_M]

upstream

I guess I'm just not imaginative enough. That's the part I thought it was, but I still don't see a newsworthy resemblance. I suppose it could look something like a face, but it looks like a regular koi to me.

It's a pretty color, though.

That's gotta be a photochop. Look at the guys leg on the right. Either that's an overextended shadow or a cropped fish fin.
I don't buy it.

Its definately a chop, the fish is perfectly symetrical

Yep look at the white line running down the nose... If you zoom in that line is almost identical, most of the rest of it nearly identical. Probably the most the biggest tell is the mouth which is opened exactly the same amount on both sides. Definitley a fake. If you look in the middle it looks like it was smudged together....rookies.

they get bored out in BC sometimes -- all those mountains, fresh air, weed and shrooms do it to you ...

pretty tough for a fish to swim without a tail.

Photoshopped 100%
