Apparently there is a kind of angler fish (specifically a batfish) that just straight up has legs? Not like the sorta pseudo legs that some other fish have, these just look like what you’d see on a weird frog.

Yeah walking batfish!! They used to show up in more nature specials. Their lure is tiny and short and doesn’t wiggle much or light up so we think maybe it lures instead by smelling good to prey!
