February** Dynamic Incentive Program
In the vast ocean, the diversity of life is breathtaking. There is a fish that can reach 25 centimeters in length, has a flat body, a stubby tail, and is special because it has four "legs", has a large head, and "walks" on the bottom of the sea with pectoral fins. This is the red-lipped batfish, known for its "flaming red lips". These fish do not really walk, but crawl on the bottom of the sea, giving people the illusion of walking on the bottom of the water when they see them.
Red-lipped batfish have a unique living habit and live mainly in the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, a South American country. The staple food is shrimp, mollusks, small fish, crabs, and worms. Lives in the waters of the Galapagos Islands. When they reach adulthood, the dorsal fin evolves into a spiny-like structure that resembles head horns, a unique shape that helps lure prey closer.
Their bright "red lips" are the most conspicuous and special places, just like waterproof lipstick, it also has a furry white beard around its lips, and the ** on its back is also like sandpaper, and there are small thorns on it. Flaming red lips make this fish stand out from the rest.
The red-lipped batfish do not walk this way all the time. When it comes to finding food and hiding from predators, they adopt traditional swimming patterns. At this time, the red-lipped batfish will show the characteristic agile body of a fish, and quickly shuttle through the water.
As a unique sea creature, red-lipped batfish have attracted the attention of many people due to their living habits and appearance characteristics. This fish is not only a reflection of biodiversity, but also a precious treasure given to us by nature.
