“THE STANDING FISH,STANDING SHARKS NEXT?”
August 26, 2010
Deep Sea exhibit at the Natural History Museum. Deep Sea ecology is pretty interesting and especially great for the variety and oddness in creatures that dwell there. Case in point are Tripod Fish.
These deep sea beauties have long extensions coming out of their fins (two from their pelvic fins, and one at the back from the caudal fin), such that they are able to “stand still” on the ocean floor. Here they can wait very patiently for prey to come wandering into their vicinity.
