Fun with Photoshop Creatures?

April Fool's Day is coming up (the great day approaches!). Does anyone know of any hoax (or even real) pics or have made any interesting pics of creatures that would go well in Traveller?

Here's a couple:

Fun stuff...now to take some of those and photoshop them further...I could see the Jellyfish in a backdrop of stars a la Signal GK. The fowish swimming in some Primeval ocean... Speaking of ITV's Primeval (http://www.itv.com/Drama/cult/Primeval/default.html) ...(ok we were not directly) has anyone tried adapting some of those creatures into Traveller terms...I am also looking for images of the critters...is there a fan site which has captured them?
 
The jellyfish looks like it is complex enough to have formed intelligence... if not actual sapience.

Wonder what their tech is based on... mineral secretions? Controlled growth of specialized corals?



The anatomical diagrams of the Mer-folk are neat. I like the gender differentiation in the pedal flippers... male walrus-like & female fish-like.
