True Facts: BatFishes

this is Matthew a little green oh that's not him well where is he up now I see him wait are you sure that's a fish Matthew is a bad fish in the family our curse of felidae he's a bit of a rebel certainly doesn't care what you expect a fish to be Matthew is highly adapted for a benthic lifestyle meaning that he lives on the floor of the sea not on the roof like a duck dude from Tahoe there he is that's his face from time to time Matthew likes to take a little stroll underneath he has two pelvic fins that prop him up on the sides highly modified pectoral fins have evolved to almost resemble little legs or arms used together what the heck was that go back I want to see it again wait for it that makes me want to vomit and put my finger in it two feelings same time what may look like a literal interpretation of the word armpit is actually Matthew's Gill his skin is covered in little cones and pyramids these tubercles and buckler's are specialized scales made of keratin and calcium they form a kind of flexible armor kind of like if you bedazzled yourself with bits of fingernails and teeth little frilly hair like clusters of skin called dermal ciri poked out here and there all of this helps Matthew disguise himself as a harmless piece of sea garbage that can walk it's not perfect Uncas Afeni de are in the order Lufia formas which makes Matthew an angler fish in an ambush hunter he has a little fishing pole that there it is it's crazy this Elysium whoa this Elysium has evolved from a single ray of his dorsal fin and it pops out right around where you'd think his nose would be like the movie alien but a different orifice most angler fish like this frog fish lure their brain visually using movement or light bad fish however eat things that don't see very like worms and snails and stupid clams slurp so a visual lure would be a bit like waving a cape at a blindfolded bull instead it seems to use a chemical lure releasing fluids from its Eska that little bulb on the end of its Alicia that fluid seems to attract things like snails and brings them to the surface however if you eat shallot things you have to make sure that your mouth isn't too big for your rectum that fish will often get a bit stopped up it's a delicate balance you have a mouth the same size as your rectum and you're eating out of a straw too big and you've got a log jam that fish aren't the best swimmers it looks a bit like if your arms were tied to your side and you were thrown off a bridge but you could still kind of flap your hands however when they spawn they will swim up and release a little mucus raft for their babies there are nearly 70 known species of bad fish and most look a bit like the bottom half of a kangaroo that was flattened by a truck however you may have also noticed that they all look very pissed off you try putting on your lipstick with no mirror and no hands even little Wendy's pissed off she waived herself on the bathroom scale then had a good toilet and weighed herself again no change how does that even happen but the main reason that bad fish are pissed off is because they're called bad fish they've spent a long time trying not to look like anything you'd recognise let alone a bad why don't you just call a bad a fish bird that's what they say and what makes matters worse is there's other fish called bat fish - here's one plant hacks bananas also called a bat fish all right when they're juveniles I kind of see it but really what they're trying to look like is the flatworm pseudo by Sarah's Hancock on us and know I'm not gonna slow that word down so you can spell it perv in any case they're trying to resemble not a bat but a flat worm that does something that even researchers refer to as penis fencing not kidding plant acts orbicularis also called a bat fish tries to resemble a dead leaf when it's a baby and when they grow up you know what they do they follow turtles around and eat the little dancing ballerinas that come out the backside you know the turtles again not kidding meanwhile the bath like I don't want that fish named after me and the turtles have a lot of explaining to do when they show up at a party oh hey Jim I see you brought a friend no he's not really my friend nonsense I see you guys panning around all the time what's your name son sorry one chocolate joy there is one fish sometimes call the back fish that might deserve the name deck done opera solitons is related to the seahorse but often gets lumped in with the sea Robbins because they fight crime together duh the sea Robins are called gurnard think Bernard but not as chili and a little more mad and that's a good team right there the bad fish swoops in and the sea Robin can handle all the tickling and that's my point I think you want a good partner in crime someone who can handle the tickling or swim up and fart out a mucus raft with you if you're just following someone around and eating their crap all day you get out of that relationship you're better than that and scientists you need to stop getting drunk when you name fish [Music] shadow heads Burwood did you get it I got it whoa I got it that was awesome [Music]
