What does the rosy-lipped batfish look like from the side?


Search
: rosy-lipped batfish

Why: On the Cracked list of 15 More Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped:
#12. Prostitution in the Deep Sea World

While this picture looks like some harebrained lipstick ad, it's actually the aptly-named "rosy-lipped batfish." Though it would probably could have been even more aptly-named "the scowling old lady at the DMV." Its expression is just perfect.

Also, it uses those legs/fins to crawl around on the sea floor, because it's apparently too lazy to swim.

Answer: Like this. Pretty.

The More You Know: This little beauty lives near Cocos Island off the coast of Costa Rica. There is also a red-lipped batfish that lives on the Galapagos Islands. Those pictures may be either of those animals.
