Lanternfish can be found in oceans all over the world and are one of the most widely distributed and populous vertebrates in the world. They are also one of the most diverse of all vertebrates, but I bet you have never seen one as frighteningly cute as the little critter below!

Beautiful Koi
Koi, meaning carp in Japanese, are ornamental varieties of the common carp, which have been bred specifically to create their beautiful colors. Originally developed in Japan towards the end of the 19th century, koi are now popular throughout the world in ponds and water gardens.
In Japan, nishikigoi are considered symbols of love and affection and throughout my travels in Japan, I found them to be very commonplace in Japanese water gardens.
