“Walking” fish

This fish has only been seen four times previously. Therefore, it was attributed to the group of endangered animals.
For the first time in 22 years, a rare “walking” brachyonithium fish was discovered off the coast of Tasmania using a deep-sea camera at a depth of 150 meters. Scientists are sure that she lives only in Australia, writes BBC.
The fish “walks” on the seabed with the help of its hands. She can also swim.
Previously, the fish came across only four times. In this regard, it was classified as an endangered species.
“This fascinating discovery offers hope for the continued survival of pink palm-footed fish, as it is clear that they have a wider habitat and distribution than previously thought,” said lead researcher and marine biologist, University of Tasmania associate professor Neville Barrett.
We will remind, earlier in the Dnieper a fisherman caught a catfish weighing 50 kg.
