The most bizarre fish species on the planet

During the growth process, the fish's skull is gradually distorted until the eyes lie on one side. The special structure allows them to camouflage to catch prey.

Here are the exotic fish:

Fish crossing the waterfall

Cryptotora thamicola, the scientific name of the fish overtake, is a species of finfish that live in deep caves in Thailand. Therefore, people also call them cave fish. Their eyes completely dissolved. However, what makes Cryptotora thamicola unique is that they especially like swimming in strong currents, even at vertical falls. They use 4 fins to adhere to the slippery surface so that water cannot wash away. They can also climb cliffs behind the waterfall.

Three-legged fish

Three-legged fish is one of the few static animals. Like corals, sponges, anemones and some other sea creatures, they just stand still, waiting for the plankton to come near to attack. Their fins are very thin, extending in length, helping them stay in the deep ocean. Three-legged fish only move when really needed. They use two front fins to catch and move food into their mouths.

Because there is no need to chase the prey, the three-legged ankle is almost blind. In addition, they are bisexual creatures, so not living with them often does not meet other individuals of the same species.

Astrological fish

As a snare-eating predator, the upturned face allows astrology to hide almost all of its body in sand or mud, waiting for its prey to swim closer. When opening their mouths, astrological fish can turn into "killer holes" with the ability to swallow prey of similar size.

Some species of astrology can even suck bait with long blades. Several other species have a pair of extremely toxic spikes on the back of the head or the discharge device between the eyes. This is a weapon that helps them paralyze small prey or cause pain to larger species.

Cat fish land

Belonging to the Phreatobius family, cat fish is a rare and quite mysterious animal. They are the only fish that do not live underwater but often crawl on piles of wet leaves along the stream. Their skin is pink, muddy. Because earth cat fish live mainly underground, their eyes are almost blind.

Whiff

The title "the most exotic vertebrate in the world" belongs to the buffalo fish. When they were born, they were relatively normal. However, during the growth process, the skull of the buffalo fish is gradually deformed. Finally, their eyes lie on one side of the body. This structural feature allows special fish to lie on a flat surface, disguising itself as a meat-eating carpet.

The pectoral fins of the buffalo tongue fish decrease with time. Most of them have elongated lips or muzzle around the front of the jaw, making their mouths look like a tooth hole, allowing them to catch prey from both sides of the body.
