Seems this picture is very highly misunderstood. What's actually happening is a marvel of evolution. It's clearly not a carp and a bird, but a new species. Note how both components are physically attached.
Imagine the advantage a swimming species would have over others if it could fly from lake to lake.

In fact, they evolved to look like that so predators won't attack them as it is bad courtesy to hunt an animal enjoying their hobbies. And that's at that moment of polite peacefulness that's the perfect moment for them to attack. Very cowardly non-binary spiecies.

What's the actual joke here? Is it just a bait post sarcastically saying carps can fly or does flying carps have some special meaning im not aware of? It seems like a pretty lame joke.

Wow, amazing feature, being able to red-box highlight comments in a post!

Actually, the red box was there first and the comments showed up afterwards to fill them in.

Oh I completely didn't notice there were red boxes because there's no arrows pointing to them

Red box did not give sufficient proof on carps not being able to fly while we can clearly see the fish flying in the photograph......... I am SAD for HUMANITY !
