A hairy frogfish up close walks!

Observing a hairy frogfish up close and witnessing it "walk" is quite a unique experience! Critter Republic Dive Center

These remarkable creatures have adapted their pectoral and pelvic fins into leg-like structures, allowing them to "walk" along the ocean floor in a manner that resembles a clumsy stroll.

As they move, their fins mimic the movements of legs, propelling them forward in short, deliberate steps. This distinctive walking behavior, combined with their cryptic appearance, makes striated frogfish fascinating subjects for underwater enthusiasts and researchers alike.
