Something only a mother can love

See above and below some frogfishes.

If you look for a definition of frogfishes you might want to say 'creatures only mothers can love'.

The video below is showing a swimming frogfish, which is quite rare since you mostly find frogfishes sitting and waiting for prey. Frogfishes might move (actually walk) if you really annoy them with your camera.

Frogfishes swim slow, but the 'frogfish is known to have the fastest movement in the animal kingdom with a bite that has been photographed at high speed to take only 1/6000 of a second'.







Do you prefer orange? Do you want to see how a frogfish is angling and eats its prey?

All frogfishes from Mabul and Kapalai islands (North-West Celebes Sea, Malaysia), October 2007.
