Who is this?
I had posed this question in my earlier post. There were some really interesting responses like Amitabh Bachan :) Most guessed that its a sea creature.
But no, its not a whale or a cat fish or a photographic trick.
This fish is called the GuitarFish or the Shovelnose Gray. And TTT was close when she said Stingray.
Huh, so whats so special? eh?
Well this is how the fish looks...
What I managed to click is the underside of the fish.What looks like eyes in my first pic is not actually its eyes.
The gills and mouth give it a face like appearance.
I had clicked the picture in the aquarium in the tunnel where you can see fish swimming all around you. It felt like the fish was looking at you through that face but its actually not a face at all :)
Strange are the ways of nature
:O :) ;) :P
