The hairy frogfish (Antennarius striatus) is a type of anglerfish in the order Lophiiformes. Frogfishes are found in almost all tropical and subtropical oceans and seas around the world, the primary exception being the Mediterranean Sea. Frogfish eat crustaceans other fish, and even each other. When potential prey is first spotted, the frogfish follows it with its eyes. Then, when it approaches within roughly seven body-lengths, the frogfish begins to move its illicium (the front-most of the three fins) in such a way that the esca (the illicium is topped with an esca, or “lure”) mimics the motions of the animal it resembles. As the prey approaches, the frogfish will slowly move itself to prepare for its attack; sometimes this involves approaching the prey or “stalking” while sometimes it is simply adjusting its mouth angle.

This is depressing. Please considering what’s happening.
Eat chickpeas instead, people. Better for you. Tastes great. CRUELTY FREE.
