Weird Walking Fish on the Ocean Floor

By Stacy in Animals & Pets, Video Clips on Jan 12, 2009 at 10:20 am

Apparently it’s called a frogfish, and while it looks sort of cute from afar, this thing is ugly… and fascinating. DarkRoastedBlend has a whole gallery of different types of frogfish, from the fluffy to the warty.

    Once again, animal cruelty is NOT funny. I don’t understand why you find it neat that this poor fish is being forced to walk on the ocean floor. I hope PETA takes this site down once and for all for it’s repeated posting of poor animals being tortured for someone’s amusement. You should be ashamed.

    Wow; it reminds me of the rat creatures from the “Bone” comic book. Do they eat quiche, too?

    Please redefine your definition of cute and ugly. Those things are awesomely adorable.

    Kirk Cameron and the Creationists have the banana; we Scientists have the walking fish.

    That fish was awesome in Fantasia. Anyone know what the transparent eel-like thing with spots is?

    “But aaaaah would walk five hundred miles
    And i would walk five hundred more
    Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
    To fall down at your door”

    That’s what I was thinking about when I watched the clip!

    A string of eggs. Only in the wonderful world of marine life will you find that and have it look so cool.
