Rat-tail

Rat-tail

Rat tails look like overgrown, distorted tadpoles. They have large heads which taper quickly to a pointed end. Their fins are so small they are barely visable. They range in colour from black to deep brown and reach sizes no larger then 3 ft. When eyes are present in rat-tail species they are quite large and well equipped for the darkness of the deep sea. It has been postulated that the rat-tail can see some 200 times better then a human in dim light. MORE! [BM] {FW}
