As I said on another thread, this is an alien invasive species...and should be eliminated from our land.

I think my cat would like to eat one of those Spangled Darters while I sit back and smile and imagine.

The Clinton species is misnamed, it’s not bent.

clinton fish: dark blue with white spots; stalks younger female fish; eats smaller fish and pretends it didn’t
gore fish: hyper-sensitive to environment, easily startled by natural phenomena (thinking they are artificially caused)
obozo fish: least intelligent fish in the lakes but watches how other fish act and copies; has others catch food, then eats it; steals food from larger fish and gives to fish in its school

This is an endemic and epidemic disease.
How in the world do you cleanse academia of this poison?

Judging by the name of these fish, I’m guessing they’re all bottom feeders.

This fish is identified by the mile long crap chain floating behind it.

Very offensive to darters, they are nice fish, perhaps the nicest native American fish!
What is needed is a new species of a tarantula or a leech, Hirudo obama would sound so nice! (Hirudo medicinalis is the common leech). Any biologist on Free Republic to do the necessary work?

E. obama was named after Barack Obama, for his work "...particularly in the areas of clean energy and environmental protection, and because he is one of our first leaders to approach conservation and environmental protection from a more global vision," according to one of the scientists, Steve Layman, who named the new speciesWiki
Oh how precious
