How odd. I wonder what it is? Is it a normal fish just out of it's area or some poor deformed thing that has somehow managed to survive?

That's a bit sad letting it squirm.
Placed in a bucket of water would have been kinder.sad

I don't believe it has three "legs" is has one tail, and two "things" have been shoved into it. It is writhing about in agony, poor thing. Nlo wonderit curled itself up into a ball.

Looks fake to me, like the mermaids they used to display at fairs once upon a time, which were monkeys with a fish-tail sewn on.
