Lookdown Fish
This odd-looking fish gets its name from the way it appears to look down as it swims along. It is also unique in the way that its bright, polished, silver body is laterally compressed and extremely thin.
You're invited to enter the 7th annual Winter at the Zoo photo contest at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo.
