Strange Sea
Creatures Washed Up From the Tsunami-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor A collection of pictures
of very weird looking sea animals said to have been washed ashore by
the South Asian tsunami in December, 2004.
They are all new species of fish.
The Truth
The pictures are authentic but have
nothing to do with the tsunami.
They are some of the specimens collected by a joint Australian-New
Zealand research team studying the Tasman Sea, which is located
between the two countries.
It was called the Norfanz Voyage and studied deep sea habitats in
the Tasman sea.
Many new species were discovered.
