This strange fish is unique in more than one way. It looks like a mutant animal, but it belongs to a large family of fish, widely present in the World’s oceans, They are called Triglidae. What makes them unique are their ‘Legs’, that are actually spines. These spines were once a part of their fins, but have become independent through ‘Evolution’. These fish use their spines to move around the seafloor, or to poke the ground in search of food. Another particularity is Wing like pectoral fins, which they deploy while swimming. Some species can emit a growling sound, produced by the vibration of one of their organs , i.e. the ‘Swim- bladder’. The sound allows them to interact with each other or to scare off predators. They are therefore one of the few fish capable of emitting a sound. They are commonly known as ‘Sea Robins’. Due to their wing like fins. These fish, which can grow upto 1 meter long, are a key source of food for people, in many coastal areas.If you liked this post,please Comment in the COMMENT BOX below and don't forget to hit the link below and like our facebook page -
