Longnose hawkfish - Oxycirrhites typus

They use their pectoral fins to perch on coral and rocks! Kinda like birds!

They lack a swim bladder, this allows them to move quickly but they have to move their fins constantly to keep in place.

Those long and slim snouts help them find and snatch prey hiding in small crevices and their checkered pattern helps them blend in and it comes ia a variety of colors! Light pink, orange and bright red.

I love snouted fish! Look at it's little snout! And the patterns too!

Longnose hawkfish remind me of birds...

Are birds fish? Or are fish birds?

Buitreraptor, a genus of small dromaeosaurid dinosaur, had some rather unique features among other dromaeosaurs. It had a slender, flat snout, which was extremely elongated, and its teeth were recurved, flattened, and grooved, and lacked serrating edges, both features which are atypical in northern dromaeosaurs.
