The walking batfish, also known as the Ogcocephalidae, is a species of fish that is known for its ability to "walk" along the ocean floor using its modified pectoral and pelvic fins.
This fish can be found in tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, typically in sandy or muddy areas near coral reefs or rocky shorelines.
The walking batfish is nocturnal, meaning it is most active during the night when hunting for small crustaceans, invertebrates, and other small fish.
These fish are poorly studied and not much is known about their specific behaviors or biology.
Walking batfish are relatively small in size, typically growing up to about 8 inches in length.
They have a unique appearance with a flattened body, covered in spines, and a long dorsal fin that runs along their back.
The walking batfish is not considered a popular aquarium fish due to its specialized care requirements and sensitivity to changes in water quality.
Despite their ability to "walk" along the ocean floor, they are not strong swimmers and rely on their unique fins to move around.
