WHAT IS THIS EVEN

Today, The Animal Blog was kind enough to inform me that in this world (in fact, at the Monteray Bay Aquarium), there is a creature called the Weedy Sea Dragon.

This pic courtesy of wikipedia, which calls this critter a Phyllopteryx.

As if that was not ALREADY enough to be awesome forever, the news bit of the story (thanks, theguardian!) is that there are babies too!

(Note: This is just a piece of the larger pic seen at the guardian link above.)
