Gorgeous critters. The hands and habit of walking seem like they would have been more suited to the labyrinth fish (anabas) which move over land using their fins - disappointingly fish-looking compared with these puppies (which really look like they could climb trees!).

so this is how the spin doctors are explaining "genetic experiments that escaped" these days... by saying the are 'nearly extinct'.

who believes this? let's have a show of hands.. (not you little fishies )

Not to worry respondents - opposable thumbs will always make you spatial.
