Freaky Fish #11: Pram Bug

Pram Bug Pronima sedentariaThis “bug” wields its prey’s remains as a shield – that’s a pretty good reminder to keep your distance, it seems. According to popular legend, this species was the original inspiration for H. R. Giger’s creature in the film Alien by Ridley Scott.To see the rest of the fish and vote for your favorite for a chance to win IMAX tickets, go to http://oceana.org/freaky-fish-contest.
