Walking Fish
Two new species of bottom be welling "walking" fish have been found in the Gulf of Mexico. The new fish are so named because they are flat and can use their stout, arm-like fins to shamble along the seafloor with a stilted gait, reminiscent of a walking bat. Once thought to be part of a know, widespread species, the batfish are actually three separate species, according to a recent physical reexamination of museum specimens. Once of the new species, Halieutichthys intermedius, is found only in the Gulf of Mexico including parts - such as coastal Louisiana - that are already heavily affected by the oil spill. The other new batfish, bispinousus, live along the northeastern Gulf coast, as well as along the eastern coast of Florida Georgia, and the Carolinas.Thanking You For Visiting Blog.
