You've got to SEA this - Walking frog fish

The original footage from these hairy frog fish walking on the sand was made by Daan van Wijk in Indonesia. These scenes are from the movie Impressionesia.

Interesting. I assume that worm looking thing is bait intended for fish but how does this thing eat? It seems rather slow.

[Daan Van Wijk]

Hi Lpedraja, yes this worm-ike lure is what they use to hunt. You're right, they are slow walkers/swimmers but they ambush.. They lie in wait and then the will swallow their prey. Their strike is one of the fastest known among fish...

The little one is so cute.

. Hi, I shot this video :) I think it's a Striped, Striated or Hairy frogfish- Antennarius striatus - but if there is someone who thinks it's a different specious I would love to hear more. Until this moment nobody was able to tell me whether the litlle one is a juvenile or not.
