Wild Thing

Perpetually pouting with vermilion lips and probing with a hornlike proboscis, the shortnose batfish (Ogcocephalus nasutus) is not known for its grace. Most often it is seen half hopping, half lunging across the seafloor like an awkward amphibian. The “nose” acts as both shovel and fishing lure.
