Lonnie's Fun Fact for Friday March 5, 2021. Their creepy and their spooky, their altogether ookie, here's where we'd snap our fingers and say the Adams Family, but not today. Today we're talking about the Hairy Frogfish. According the National Geographic dot com, the hairy frogfish is a type of fish that’s covered in spines. The spines, which look like strands of hair, allow the tiny fish to camouflage itself against coral and seaweed. The hairy frogfish can also change its color to blend in with its surroundings. You'll find the Hairy Frogfish in warm waters around the world.These animals are excellent at hide and seek, but they do something that really makes them stand out from a lot of other sea creatures. The fish don’t swim. Instead they walk on their wide fins along the seafloor as they look for snacks to eat. I mentioned the Hairy Frogfish is tiny, they only grow to be about four inches long.
