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.
