Follow The Bouncing Fish
Here’s one of the more “interesting” stories I found today. It’s not about Oregon. But the news comes from the University of Washington, which is sort of nearby.

UW Professor Ted Pietsch has documented a newly discovered tropical fish that not only looks strange, but doesn’t even swim. It sort of hops along the ocean bottom like a bouncing ball. Fittingly, he’s calling it H. psychedelica. Prietsch says it’s the only fish that behaves like this.
It’s also unusual because it has forward looking eyes. As you can see in the photo, it’s a fish with a face.
So if you’ve got a few moments, go to the press release and check out the videos on the right side of the page.
Thank you for sharing this story! In the middle of the grim news, I found wonder and joy in this discovery.
Agreed–that is very interesting!
