    And none of us had even heard of it before.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      Mother nature is a stone bitch. 😆

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

        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.

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

            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.

            Education is extremely important.

              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.

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

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

                              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.

                                  I want to know why you're following this twitter-er.

                                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
