what do you mean "WTF?!?"?!?!?!

Dude its a fish that's only a few milimeters long, has no skull, and LIVES IN ACID.

These things could crawl (swim?) into our blood streams and TAKE OVER OUR MINDS!!

Seriously though, its the smallest vertibrate they've ever found. And I'm always amazed when humans discover another species that they'd never seen before. It makes me wonder how many entire undescovered species we destroy with each acre of rainforest we lay waste to.

biodiversity rocks my (our) world.

way to go teeny tiny fish! you make us all proud. even woody. who's an asshole. ;)

Biodiversity does rock. More and more potential cancer cures are coming from sea organisms:
