THE RED –LIPPED BATFISH

The Red -Lipped Batfish

       Ogcocepphalus darwini or as known as The Red-Lipped Batfish,This animal can be found in Galapagos Islands.This animal only can be found in deep of the sea.In my opinion this creature are really strange because its head look like crab and its fish and its look like fierce creature ,which is easily get mad with others species.This species actually have a broad head, slight body, and is covered in large gnarled lumps. These fish have developed distinctively bright red lips. Such characteristic lips are thought to aid them in recognising each other during breeding and spawning (other than their pinocchio nose, walking fins and old lady moustache).The secret weapon for this fish is These fish have down-turned mouths which are often very good at dropping their jaw quickly to grab prey on the sea floor.unfortunatlely this fish are not really good at swim but the cutest things about this batfish is they have to modified pectoral fins that are better suited for ‘walking’ along the ocean floor than swimming.

The common food for them is small fish, mollusks, and crustaceans such as shrimps and crabs. They can become bigger until 40 cm long. I wondering what can I could found if I go near to their habitat, It must be amazing and I do really hope I can touch them and share it with the whole world.
