ROSY-LIPPED “COCOS” BATFISH (Ogcocephalus porrectus)
©Daniel Selmeczi/Steve Bloom / Rex Feature
The rosy-lipped batfish, are found near Cocos Island off the coast of Costa Rica. Batfish are not good swimmers; they use their pectoral fins to “walk” on the ocean floor. When the batfish reaches adulthood, its dorsal fin becomes a single spine-like projection that lures prey.
