The Batfish

The batfish is a very unique fish that has many interesting qualities. It's scientific name, Ogcocephalidae,  is a doozy to pronounce. One of its adaptations is that the pectoral, pelvic, and anal fins are modified to where it can look like it is walking on its fins. Most batfish are found around reefs and deeper water. It is not listed as an endangered or threatened species. I was interested in the batfish mainly because of its name.
