Stuffed batfishes under rectangular glass
PU713
The famous batfish from Galapagos island: Ogcocephalus darwini. They are not good swimers: they use their highly adapted pectoral fins to "walk" on the ocean floor. Their dorsal fin becomes a single spine-like projection that function primarily as a lure for prey. But the most remarkable is their mouth with incredible red lips. A Red-lipped bat?
