Default Re: Dinosaur alert

Damn, it was a cool show. They actually had a movie of one they caught off Indonesia. Pretty freaky to see a living dinosaur. It's extremely different from any other type of fish; no air sinuses, a big tube filled with oil extends through the body under the thin backbone, a gelatinous eletrical sensor on the nose, cat-like eyes that reflect light(tapetum), six fins not counting the top dorsal fin or the tail that keep moving constantly, and the fins are jointed like limbs instead of regular fins and move like limbs too, strangely speckled scales ... gigantic leathery looking eggs, though they give birth live .. just kinda weird and cool all through. Speculated to be the ancestor of lungfish and terapods, and thereby, us. It was very cool to see the thing on video live. Too bad that they die when they get raised to the surface, because the water up at the surface doesn't hold enough oxygen for them.
