From The Sunday Mail:
With its odd smile and translucent body this creature could be mistaken for a young cousin of one of Doctor Who's adversaries.Isn't this adorable? The baby ray lives at the Blue Reef Aquarium at Southsea, Hampshire. It is one of a dozen hatched in a captive breeding program.
In fact it is the underside of a young thornback ray, pushing itself up the inside of an aquarium.
The baby ray measures 12 centimeters. In maturity, thornback rays measure approximately 1.2 meters in length.
A Blue Reef spokesman said the babies were proving very popular with visitors.Oh, and the black objects are not eyes, but gills. The eyes are on the topside.
He said: "Their faces are very distinctive, especially the apparent smile.
"Some people have likened them to an alien or even the 'The Last Human' featured in Doctor Who.
Cool... and it DOES look like that one Dr. Who character, the human who had so much plastic surgery that all that was left was some skin and lips? Remember? It was one of those times they had to save the world.
