The only good thing I have heard so far about the Gulf oil spill is the discovery of two new types of the walking bat fish that  are living on the bottom of the Gulf.

They discovered these two new types  were right inline with where the oil was traveling .

These fish are small enough that they can fit in the palm of your hand. They are in the pancake batfish family. These new types may already be in trouble due to the oil spill and chemicals being used to clean it up.

The oil spill could be wiping out the batfishes food supply of plankton.

They could also be doomed by the oil pouring out of the wellhead.

The fish get their name because they are flat with thick fins which they use like arms to walk along the ocean floor.
