Chandigarh, December 23

An endangered 'walking' fish has been spotted after 22 years in Australia.

A rare fish with hands was found in the depths of a marine park off Tasmania's rugged south-west coast. A member of the anglerfish family, the 'pink handfish' was last seen by a recreational diver off the coast of Tasman Peninsula, south-east of Hobart, in 1999, reports ABC news.  

Little is known about the pink handfish, but it had been thought it lived in waters between 15 metres to almost 40 metres deep off Tasmania's east coast — an assumption that has since been overturned.
