@mbari_news: #tfw a flatfish totally invades your space bubble 🤨 Flatfishes spend most of their time lying on their sides, camouflaged against the muddy seafloor or buried in the sand. When it’s time to find a meal or to escape an unwelcome predator, they swiftly push off the bottom and gracefully undulate their flattened bodies to swim, employing elongated fins for extra propulsion. These remarkable fishes are found in all ocean basins. Some live in shallow waters, while others thrive at depths of more than 1,500 meters (about 4,900 feet). #ocean #deepsea #DeepOcean #yesitsreal
