There are some weird and wonderful animals on our planet, particularly sea dwelling ones. For example, check out this rosy-lipped batfish:
Weird isn’t it!
Batfish are poor swimmers, preferring to use their strangely adapted pectoral fins like legs to crawl about the seafloor.
If you would like to see more weird and wonderful see creatures here is a photo gallery of ‘Translucent Creatures’ and here is a gallery of ‘ Sea Creatures’.
Marine biologists have now deciphered more of the humpback whale language. It seems they often communicate with a combination of behaviours and sounds.
For example, breaching, and the following splash, is a signal meant to alert other groups that “I’m here”. A ‘wop’, seems to be a signal between a female and her calf and a similar sound, dubbed the ‘thwop’, was made most often by lone males looking for females.
