Dog Acts Like a Fish in Hilarious Viral Video - Newsweek

A dog flopping awkwardly in a pool of water has prompted an array of fish comparisons after a video went viral over the weekend.

The contented canine, which appears to be a Golden Retriever, was filmed floundering in a large puddle while spread out belly-down like a starfish.

As the camera zooms in, the playful animal clumsily pivots around resembling a floundering fish out of water.

"What kind of fish is this?" Reddit user NyankoSensei posted to the 'AnimalsBeingDerps' subthread on Sunday.

The 15-second clip has so far garnered 775 replies from curious observers in the 24 hours since it was first posted online.

"That's a flat tailed barker," one person replied, while another countered: You sure? Seems more like a yellow-bellied snout snoggler to me."

"This a golden pupper fish," another user empathically noted.

"It's a Land Seal," somebody else hit back. "Technically not a fish but close enough."

"It's actually not a fish," one person retorted. "If you look closely you can see that it has a blow hole on the front which is indicative of a marine mammal. Probably a type of whale. I'm not really up to date on whale species but it almost looks like a North Atlantic Aurum Ferre."

The Golden Retriever is among America's most popular dog breeds, according to the American Kennel Club.

The breeds are believed to "take a joyous and playful approach to life" and maintain this puppyish behavior into adulthood. They also enjoy outdoor play and were bred to retrieve waterfowl, making swimming a natural pastime and perhaps an explanation for the dog's unusual behavior in the video.

In December last year, a Golden Retriever named Captain was filmed with his snout against a fish tank, seemingly mesmerized by the fish inside.

"This is Captain. He loves his fishy frens," a caption written alongside the video read.

Just last month, a dog's unlikely reaction to a pond filled with fish melted hearts online.

In the footage, posted to TikTok by Karen Vick, a curious boxer can be seen intently looking into a pond filled with koi fish.

"Now do you want to get in with your friends? Go ahead, you can get in," the dog's owner is heard prompting her pet.

The dog then tentatively and gently steps into the water to see the fish up-close. The video has amassed 7.6 million views since it was first uploaded on July 25.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
