Strange Walking Sea Creature Video

120 ft is not deep enough for those strange deep water fish.

Nothing at all. It was a evolution joke relating the "frogfish" to a poodle. I find the creature in the video to somewhat resemble a poodle. Obviously no one else does though. Forgive my humor. I'll try to keep the conversation on frogfish and their importance in this thread.

sorry, wasn't meaning to sound bitchy
but a bit more on topic would be appreciated, i'm sure you've got something to say about this subject!

btw- i was just trying to be funny

humor noted. any opinion to share on the actual topic too?

on the topic itself- nothing more to be said by me i belive it to be a frog fish...now if anyone goes sasquatch, or moth man hunting count me in im dying to find out about them.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. So cute!!



Boo! Frogfish. ;]

Nice find that's one cute looking critter. We should all search for cloaked eels too!

It is a kind of monkfish that lives at great depth. Because of the water pressure the fish does not have any swim bladder and instead "walk" around the ocean bottom. At these depth there is only a fraction of the nutrients from the surface so the fish have to preserve their energy.

Another problem at these depth are to find a partner when the distances are so great. This is solved by some anglerfish by the male actually living their whole lives as parasites on the female. Their arteries actually join together so all the male has to do is to catch a ride and produce sperm. The female does all the eating and swimming.
