What's your thoughts on this?
This has to be fake. I don't see any gills, plus it looks like some type of dogs head on a fish's body. Actually the more I look at it it looks like a baboon's head. I know they have teeth like that.

I'm guessing fake. Why would a fish that small have teeth so large?

I don't know--he does say he has an in with the mers, so he must be legit...
Just for fun I went through and looked at some of his past auctions--seems that he's found a lot of interesting things on that beach! There's one just like that but with a hominid head (kind of looked like Louis Gossett Jr in "Enemy Mine"

This guy is talented! I want to know how he does this...
He must be using taxidermy processes to stretch the skin over a mold then dry it out - the work is simply amazing.
I don't quite know what to call this artwork (fish moulding?)..
The bad thing is he is stating on his auctions that is is a real fish (but he doesn't say he has muniplulated it) leading people to believe that there is really fish that look like this. It is obviously a scam.
He should market the objects as artwork and get respected as an artist - instead of getting bashed as a scammer.

That's the Saber-Toothed Lion Fish. Thought to be extinct for millions of years.

Good grief! Surely people don't believe such a ploy...
What I don't understand is how he still has 100% feedback and such great reviews!!
