I guess if you live in New Zealand you sort of get used to finding some bizarre stuff in your nets. When one fisherman found this thing, I’m sure he crapped himself.
This fine example of deep-sea horror was found in the Bay of Islands area in the far north of New Zealand’s North Island. Posted online, people thought it looked like some sort of mutant fish born of radiation and science gone wrong. It has three leg-like appendages to further confuse people into thinking it’s some sort of amalgam of fish and reptile.
That’s close – it’s actually a frogfish. These bottom dwellers use the little orange dangly thing on their foreheads to lure unsuspecting fish close where they gobble them up in one gulp.
