Have you ever seen a fish walking on legs in the sea?

Have you ever seen a "flaming red lip" on a fish's face?

There are many wonders in the world. This fish actually exists. If you have seen it, you are really knowledgeable. It is normal that you have never seen this kind of creature, because this kind of fish does not exist in our country.

Let’s start with a large high-definition picture:

The picture above is really not from P. This interesting creature is called the red-lipped batfish. It lives in the waters of the Galapagos Islands. The name must come from its red color. The color of her lips, just looking at them, is quite attractive.

The body length of an adult red-lipped batfish is generally up to 25 cm, with an oblate body and a thick and short tail. Its body color is generally light brown. Although its overall size and appearance are very different, according to scientific research, it is still related to the anglerfish.

Although red-lipped batfish live on the seabed, their swimming ability is very poor. It may be that God closed all the windows while giving them a strange appearance, causing this fish to evolve four fin-like legs. It can only crawl on the bottom of the sea. Their staple food is shrimp, mollusks , small fish, crabs and worms. To put it simply, they can generally eat anything they can encounter while walking on the seabed.

As for its red lips,

its purpose is not very clear yet, but according to Darwin evolution theory , the so-called "natural selection, survival of the fittest", its unique red lips are not to attract the opposite sex. Just to attract prey, there is almost no third possibility.

In addition, the red-lipped batfish can also effectively inhibit the growth of seaweed . Its ability to eat seaweed is no less than parrotfish and surgeonfish, and can even remove larger seaweed. In short, this red lip has not grown in vain, and it can be considered as a contribution to purifying the marine ecology.
