YET ANOTHER PRANK POSTING FROM FB FRIENDS.... **************************** Todd Yakoubian 21 February 2013 · Amazing new fish discovered in Arkansas. *************************** Wild Hog fish or Pig-nosed Fish 1. Circulating message that features an image of a bizarre looking fish that has a pig-like snout claims that the fish is a new species discovered in Texas creeks and is called the Wild Hogfish. 2. Other variants of the message claim that the pig-nosed fish - or alternatively pig fish - was found in a South African dam or in the American state of Arkansas. Brief Analysis The claims in the messages are untrue and the image is fake. There is no species of fish like the one depicted in the photograph. The fake picture was created by digitally manipulating a photograph of an ordinary fish. TRUTH: The image does not depict a real creature. Rather, it is the result of digital tomfoolery and was most probably created just as a prank. Whoever created the fake took the following image of an ordinary fish and rather cleverly manipulated it so that it appeared to have the face of a pig: Several types of fish do have the common name pigfish, but they certainly do not have pig faces like the one in the above prank image....
