The most enchanting fish in the world is the red-lipped batfish, which is recognized as the ugliest kind of fish, not very large, but with a large flaming red lip, and has four very small legs, and also has a nose, which will feel strange when it looks at it as a whole. However, the red lip batfish basically has a circle of small white fluff around the red lip, which looks like a beard, and the red-lipped batfish generally swims on the bottom of the sea by relying on the pectoral fins.
First, can the red-lipped batfish walk?
No, the red-lipped batfish is one of the top ten weird-looking animals, and its appearance is indeed very peculiar. The two legs of this fish are actually due to the misalignment of the bones to slowly form a pair of "prosthetic limbs". It is also because the pectoral fin of the red-lipped batfish was originally connected to the fin, but it was because the later fin bone growth was long and crooked and extended, and the "prosthetic limb" that grew out was also slowly moving the growth position, and now it is moving fast to the throat of the fish. It's not that the "prosthetic limbs" that grow out are useless, in fact, the two limbs in front of them are supporting the body of the red-lipped batfish.
Second, red-lipped batfish are generally distributed where
Red-lipped batfish are more distributed in tropical waters, red-lipped batfish are generally difficult to see in shallow waters, because this fish generally live in the dark deep sea, but although the red-lipped batfish has many legs, the red-lipped batfish's procession speed on the seabed is really slow, like a snail crawling on land. Generally, red-lipped batfish have some small spines on their backs, generally with their own camouflage or head slowly forming convex objects to attract the attention of prey and catch, most of the red-lipped batfish are small fish and some invertebrate creatures smaller than their own size as their own food.
Third, the appearance of the red-lipped batfish
The body of the red-lipped batfish is somewhat similar to that of crabs, most of the body color is brown, there will be some white stripes in the front half of the body, the most eye-catching is actually the red lips of the red-lipped batfish. Red-lipped batfish is actually another name is the long batfish, generally this kind of fish is basically not too large, but if you are lucky, you may see the figure of red-lipped batfish in the coral reef area.
