Iām no marine biologist, but Iām pretty dang sure that fish donāt have pig faces. There are hogfish and pigfish. But little pig eyes? Pointy pig ears? Nah. Thatās bunk. Call it a hunch.
Yet, this photo has become a hot topic on uber popular Chinese bulletin board, TT.mop. With river pollution a serious problem, some on TT.mop wondered if this fish was a mutation. Others thought it looked like Photoshop. Others? Sorry, I meant smart people.
Whoever caught this pig-faced fish, should trade notes with the guy who sliced open the dragon he caught. Photoshop notes.

That actually isnāt necessary. The image *seems* to have first emerged on parody site An Aspiring Mekubal on February 21. It didnāt hit TT.mop until a few days later.
You can read an update An Aspiring Mekubal did on pigfish, if you like.
