Mystery creature lurking on ocean floor near Tokyo




What shall we name this odd undersea creature? How about P. areidolia?

Cameras aboard JAMSTEC's Hyper-Dolphin ROV have captured footage of something strange lurking on the floor of Sagami Bay, southwest of Tokyo.

FOUR-LEGGED FISH



“Perhaps he had just got tired of swimming. For this odd-looking fish looks like he’s just decided to head out for an evening stroll along the ocean floor. But while it looks like he has sprouted legs, this angler fish’s limbs are just the fins he uses to balance himself on the sea bed. The fish rests on the ocean floor as he prepares to make a dart for any passing prey he has lured towards him using the protrusion above his mouth.” w/ photos. LINK
