Daily fish fact #774

Sea robins!

These fish of the family Triglidae have three "walking rays" on each side of the body, derived from their large pectoral fins. These walking rays have unique musculature and anatomy that makes them suitable for feeling for prey hidden in the sand, which appears very much like walking. Pictured above is a tub gurnard.
