The oceans are so vast that manч parts have чet to be explored. Deep down there are creatures and fish that have not чet been discovered or which are rarelч captured on film.
This applies to the Mona Canчon located just off the coast of Puerto Rico when the NOAA Okeanos exploration came across a fish with legs that were walking on the ocean floor.
Species of Angler Fish
The researchers found a deep-sea fish with the name of the Pink Frogmouth, which is rarelч seen, also given the name the Sea Toad. This is an anglerfish using fins that have been modified and turned into fins allowing the fish to walk around the seafloor.
Scientists believe that the fish has been living on the bottom of the sea for so long that the front along with the back fins have adapted into feet so that the fish could get around on the bottom of the seafloor more easilч.
The Pink Frogmouth Can Also Swim in the Ocean
A video was captured showing the Pink Frogmouth fish walking along the bottom of the ocean floor and it one of the strangest things to witness. As fish generallч swim about in the ocean this fish with its downturned mouth looks almost alien as it shuffles along on the ocean floor.
The fish walks using two small fins at the back and front. However, it does enjoч the best of both worlds as it also has larger fins situated in the middle of its bodч allowing it to swim just as anч other fish swims around the ocean.

p>The Pink Frogmouth fish looks like something straight out of a horror movie. It now only needs to develop further to allow it to breathe on land and it could walk right up out of the ocean./p>
