I think this one fills the bill perfectly!

The Sarcastic Fringehead (Neoclinus blanchardi) is a ferocious fish which has a large mouth and aggressive territorial behaviour...(T)hey wrestle by pressing their distended mouths against each other, as if they were kissing...

They...(have) great pectoral fins and reduced pelvic fins...They tend to hide inside shells or crevices...

1. Why not? The teabaggers have an official tree
Pterocarya fraxinifolia (Caucasian wingnut)\





Nice tree that can grow pretty tall, but watch out. they're prone to produce suckers.

9. Or perhaps the DUng Beetle...
Born of eggs laid in shit, wallowing in Donkey shit, willing to push piles of shit many times the size of our bodies to produce another generation to serve the shit the 'leaders' of the party do in DC.

11. Two more things sarcastic fringeheads have in common with DUers
1. ...In some areas they even take up residence in old cans and bottles. In fact, in the "beer bottle field" of Santa Monica Bay (California), nearly every bottle is a home to a fringehead...

2. Does this video resemble a DU thread, or what?

:rofl:
