WARTY FROGFISH NOW IN TROPICAL DISCOVERY
Their species’ name might not win many fans, but you should still definitely check out our new warty frogfish in Tropical Discovery. Found throughout the Indian Ocean, these interesting-looking fish use the bumps on their bodies and variety of colors to blend in with their aquatic habitat. Special appendages on top of their heads, which resemble worms, lure in unsuspecting prey like fishing rods. This fish is unique in that it actually walks more than it swims, using its unusually-placed pectoral fins. See them now in the sea urchin exhibit right across from the spiny lobster exhibit.
