Prof. Burnaby Q. Orbax's fur-bearing trout. According to Orbax's website, the species is "native only to the most Northern parts of Canada and the United States, where the cold water currents require the fish to grow a peach-like fuzz around areas of their body with little blood circulation. These furry coats 'molt' prior to the spring thaw, and therefore spotting a furred trout is a rare occurence. This specimen was caught by an ice fisherman in Gaspe."
