GLOUCESTER , MASS. (WHDH) - A pufferfish was spotted in a tree in Gloucester following this past weekend’s nor’easter. Real or fake? You be the judge.
Twitter user Peter Lovasco posted photos of the fish Tuesday afternoon with a caption that said “crazy fish in a tree.”

Many questioned the legitimacy of the photos, especially since some say it’s rare to find the pufferfish in waters north of Cape Cod at this time of year.
The storm battered coastal communities with high winds and fierce waves.
In Seabrook, New Hampshire, a seal pup was washed into a parking lot. In York, Maine, the storm unearthed what is believed to be a ship that dates back to the Revolutionary War.
