This has to be the best android head I have seen yet, pretty neat.

It's not real, though. It's an excerpt from a 3-D animator's clip reel. In other words, it's a rendered head.

I'm not sure if it is a animation or real but it is still pretty cool.

I agree that it's cool, here's the info from the source:

Entertainment Robotics - Robotic fish powered by Gumstix PC and PIC

In nature, fish has astonishing swimming ability after thousands years evolution. It is well known that the tuna swims with high speed and high efficiency, the pike accelerates in a flash and the eel could swim skilfully into a narrow hole. Such astonishing swimming ability inspires us to improve the performance of aquatic man-made robotic systems, namely Robotic Fish. Instead of the conventional rotary propeller used in ship or underwater vehicles, the undulation movement provides the main energy of a robotic fish. The observation on a real fish shows that this kind of propulsion is more noiseless, effective, and manoeuvrable than the propeller-based propulsion. The aim of our project is to design and build autonomous robotic fishes that are able to reactive to the environment and navigate toward the charging station. In other words, they should have the features such as fish-swimming behaviour, autonomously navigating ability, cartoon-like appearance that is not-existed in the real world.···
