It is the bird. The other fish is a basking Shark.

I'm not sure if a basking shark has a fin like this..

Jokey

That is what I wondered. The shark looked almost prehistoric like with the fins IYSWIM? x

C isn't a basking shark as a basking shark has normal shark style fin on top whereas the one in the picture has swordfish style fin on top.

I'm inclined to say C is the odd one out but I would like to know the OPs reason for ruling out B

Jokey

I have no reason :rotfl: Just thought the top one was very strange & was confused as to why the shark had strange fins, the bird just looked like a bird

Ahh ok!!! I thought you might know something I didn't :rotfl:

I would personally say that the answer is C as I think they have photoshopped a swordfish fin onto a basking shark but I have no proof despite scouring the internet

a looks very clouorfull and strange to me so i went for that lol

I have just found this page on WWF site:

http://wwf.panda.org/about_our_earth/species/profiles/fish_marine/shark2/

(scroll down a little)

There is a picture of the shark but it has fins the way a shark does & not a swordfish etc. I'm inclined to say C but still unsure

Jokey

OK, so my clever darling hubby2be has noticed the bottom of the pictures it shows the sources of the pics.

Monterey bay aquarium research institute has this one: http://www.mbari.org/news/news_releases/2009/barreleye/barreleye.html

Fundacion Proaves has this pic (scroll down on the right): http://www.proaves.org/article.php?id_article=774&var_recherche=Fuertes%27s+Parrot

Finally the naturepl site has these pics in which NONE of them are the same as C: http://www.naturepl.com/bin/npl.dll/go?a=disp&pt=1&t=us\sr-loadersearch.html&si=8DB324AC1A6146DDB5DAC39AD613DC&usp=0&_spb=0&_spe=0&_spw=0&mw=2&_collection=&_type=&se=24&_filterori=&_sfqcode=&searchtext=basking%20shark

Therefore the answer is C, I will update the OP now

Thanks for everyone's help
