Dive Into Your Imagination

Hairy frogfish. You read that correctly, a fish with hair. Check this out, frogfish are in the angler fish family and they have this appendage attached to their head called an esca. They throw out their esca trying to lure other fish close to its mouth. They fish for fish. They have a fishing pole attached to their head with a lure! Watch these funny creatures here!

Frogfish hunt in many different ways. They do not only use their esca, they also are ambush predators and will stay completely still on a reef for hours at a time waiting for fish or shrimp to move close enough to be gobbled up.

Check out this series of photos of a hairy frogfish eating a cardinal fish. Who would guess that this kind of fish would come in the colors of a rainbow, and yet they do! Pink, purple, green, orange, yellow and white, these are truly masters of disguise.
