Top Five Weirdest Looking Fish
Flying Gurnard
The Flying Gurnards are known for their disproportionately large pectoral fins. In spite of their name however, they can’t actually fly. Very Beautiful yet weird looking fella!.
Northern Stargazer
Not the most cuddly looking creature in the ocean, the stargazer buries itself in the sand and lies in wait to ambush its prey.
Roughback Batfish
Also known as seabats or anglerfishes, the Ogcocephalus parvus is a species of batfish that grows to a length of 4 inches (10 cm). It has a bulbous lure or an esca which unlike that of most anglerfishes is not luminous but rather secretes fluid which acts like a chemical to attract prey.
Mola Mola
The ocean sunfish is the heaviest known bony fish in the world and has an average adult weight of 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg). A laterally flattened body, the common mola as it is also known, generally feasts on jellyfish.
Sarcastic Fringehead
Why sarcastic? We’re not sure, but one thing that can be said of this creature is that it is ferocious. Highly territorial, when two of these uglies battle it out, they wrestle by pressing their mouths together as if kissing which allows them to figure out which is the larger fish and thus the winner establishes dominance.
