Meet the red-lipped batfish—found only in the deep waters around the Galápagos Islands. That crimson pout isn't makeup. It's evolution's way of helping them find mates in the dim, murky depths where sunlight never reaches. But did you know: it barely swims at all. Instead, it walks on modified pectoral fins—strutting across the seafloor like it's late for an underwater fashion show. One step at a time, scanning for prey. And when it's hungry? It doesn't chase. A tiny lure on its head attracts sm

Spadefish, also called batfish in some regions, are easily recognized by their disc-shaped bodies and vertical stripes. They’re part of the Ephippidae family and can grow up to 91 cm in length. What’s fascinating is their diet—they’re opportunistic feeders, eating everything from plankton to small invertebrates and even jellyfish. Juveniles often mimic leaves or debris to blend in, but adults form large schools for protection. #marinelife #oceanconservation #sea #marinebiology #ocean #scuba #und
