The unusual river dwelling Indian Glass Fish (Parambassis ranga) has the unique feature of transparent scales, enabling the seeing of all the innards and bones as well as what is behind it. This should meet the #SundayFishSketch #Fishytheme of “translucent fishes.”

See-through fish? More like sea-through! Many species of eels have a flat, transparent larval stage called leptocephalus during which they're basically just going with the flow - they drift along on ocean currents away from their birthplace in the Sargasso Sea #SundayFishSketch

Something different today. There are few places on earth where evolution is as obvious as it is in the Galapagos, and one of the sights that stunned me the most was seeing Marine Iguanas feed underwater. A clear example of how the Galapagos inspired Darwin. #explore
