    The article about the Penis Fish is totaly incorrect, the fish in the photo it's the Urechis unicinctus aka Spoon Worms (normaly eaten in Asian countrys), the fish you're talking about it's from the Amasonas river and it's called Candiru and it's very different : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru
  • Ugliest? Echidna and armadillo look really awesome and tarsiers exude sheer coolness.
  • Hickepedia
    Why not use a picture of a candiru fish, rather than what appears to be sea cucumbers? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru)
  • Most excellent! The penis fish is hilarious but terrible to think about...
