Mother nature is a stone bitch.

Never seen a hairy frogfish before. Is that what Brenda's raising?

Thanks for sharing the frogfish video.
It piqued my curiosity and I went looking for more.

Cool. I want one.

When I had an aquarium my favorite fish were the Tiger Barbs. They would sit there flapping their little side fins, looking for all the world like a big Harley idling. Then they would shoot off and nip at the other fish to keep them in line. Fish of Anarchy.

Looks so human. Got all the fish in the video, I suspect she doesn’t go hungry.

THat's badass.

And none of us had even heard of it before.

No fish raised here, only sweet little froggos.

That is one crazy looking fish. Reminds me of something you would see on Sesame Street or a Jim Henson movie.

@Friday Yep, the Cookie Monster. I had the same thought.

If ever there was a time for super slow motion cameras. We could be watching a frog fish bite in 1/6000 of a second but instead we get a bunch of water balloons popping.

We often have the situation at dinner that everybody else is waiting for somebody to finish his or her meal.

I wonder whether that happens at the Frogfish's dinner table, too.

[Klaus]

I also wonder how long it takes frogfishes to finish their sex business.

[Mik]

I don't know, but I bet frogfish fellatio is a no-go.

That's great footage.

[taiwan_girl]

[Axtremus]

Whoa! Fantastic video!

The guy with his whole torso hanging out of the SUV would have been fairly screwed if the cheetah had taken an interest in him.
