The flying gurnard doesnât actually fly. It uses its enormous pectoral fins to startle predators and communicate with rivals. Those striking blue spotted âwingsâ are usually folded against its body, only revealing themselves when needed.
Even more surprising, it âwalksâ across the seafloor using three detached fin rays that act like little legs, helping it search the sand for crustaceans, worms, and other hidden prey.
