appendages (a walking fish)? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28799126/
""The fish was so strange in morphology that it did not fit into any taxonomic category that we were aware of"
"But L. wahari also has a specialized pelvic fin that decouples from its body and moves backward and forward independently. This feature — used in combination with a grasping mouth to move like an inchworm up rocks"
"A previously unknown species of climbing catfish has been discovered in remote Venezuela, and its strange traits are shaking the evolutionary tree for these fish."
So... can "adaptation" create entire new organs, new vestigial features?
Here is a better picture so you can clearly see the rear 'legs':

As you can see, while these may have simply been rear fins at some point, they have clearly evolved to the point where they are no longer made of the same material (are actually made out of flesh), and are used for an entirely different purpose. They are different in position, different shape, morphology... they can grasp instead of being used to propel through water.
This fish has evolved legs from it's hind fins.
What more proof of so called 'macro-evolution' do you want?
No... it's an entire new species. Not one specimen.
Why do I get no answers?
Have you creationists given up?
Not true. This species is not in the fossil record; ie, it hasn't existed until (at the most) a few thousand years ago.
Do you mean that god just 'poofed' it out of nowhere a few thousand years ago?
